These Cookies & Cream Red Velvet Brownies combine the rich, velvety texture of red velvet with the crunch of Oreo cookies, making them a decadent treat. Perfect for any occasion, these brownies are sure to be a showstopper at your next gathering!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 12 tbsp red food coloring (liquid or gel)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1012 Oreos, crushed
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract and red food coloring.
  4. Add Buttermilk: Stir in the buttermilk until smooth.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the crushed Oreos and white chocolate chips.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares. Optionally, top with more crushed Oreos or powdered sugar.

Notes

  • If you don’t have buttermilk, use a substitute by adding a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don’t skimp on the red food coloring—it’s key for that signature red velvet look and flavor.
  • For extra moist brownies, add 1 tablespoon of sour cream to the batter.
