Giveaway is over, sorry 😦
This was an experiment … I have made brownie cupcakes before and love the convenience of single servings, no cutting required … but I have never stuffed a Oreo in one. I have seen many recipes recently with Oreos inside cupcakes, cookies and brownies, so I gave it a try. I will do it again, but it will probably be an experiment again!
First of all, I must confess that I used a brownie mix. You see my family prefers brownies from a mix over brownies from scratch. So, I keep my family happy and my life simple!
I followed the directions on the box and filled cupcake papers with the brownie batter. I got 13 cupcakes from a mix that made a 9″ x 13″ pan of brownies …
Then put the Oreos in the cupcake batter … and put them in the oven @ 350° for 25 minutes …
This is what happened … the Oreos that I laid on top of the batter, stayed … I stood 3 Oreos on end and 2 fell down … next time I may do it differently … maybe pour a little batter in the bottom, place a Oreo on the batter and then cover the Oreo with more batter …
I made these cupcakes to take to a birthday lunch … they looked so plain … so I added a little dollop of icing …
They needed more … a few sprinkles “partied” them up … and I put them in individual cupcake boxes for everyone to take home …
These Brownie Oreo Cupcakes were very easy and tasted good. Let me know if you try it this way or another … I always appreciate input! Just leave a comment below ….
