Gluten Free Oreo Brownies

These gluten free oreo brownies are rich, chocolatey, easy to make and so fudgy! They’re made with pantry staple ingredients and are perfect for impressing a crowd!

As soon as gluten free oreo’s were launched, I knew I HAD to make one of my favorite ever desserts, gluten free oreo brownies! Followed by my cookies and cream cookies. They’re made entirely from scratch and I promise you’ll never go back to a boxed brownie mix again!

With a fudgy gluten free brownie base, oreo cookies layered in between, a rich chocolate flavor, and so good fresh from the oven with a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream.

These brownies have a beautifully crackly top thanks to the combination of melted chocolate, butter and sugar. SO good.

If you aren’t gluten free, you can absolutely just use regular oreos and regular all purpose flour in this recipe with no problem. You can also use double stuffed or regular, depending on your preference! Try my flourless brownies or oatmeal cookie bars next!

How to make gluten free oreo brownies

Melt chocolate. Add 1 1/3 cup of chocolate chips to a bowl with the butter and melt in the microwave using 30 second intervals. Stir well between each interval. Alternatively, add to a double boiler and melt on the stove.

Mix wet ingredients. Meanwhile, beat together the eggs, sugar and vanilla. beat in the melted chocolate.

Add dry ingredients. Fold in the flour, cocoa and salt until well combined. Fold in the remaining 1/3 cup of chocolate chips.

Add to pan. Add half of the batter to a lined 8×8 baking pan and spread evenly. Add 16 oreos, then spread on top the rest of the batter.

Bake. Bake for 26-34 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. If you like fudgier brownies, bake for less time, if you like them more well done, bake for longer.

Serve. Let cool, then slice around the edges of the pan and lift out by the parchment paper. Slice into 16 squares (so there will be one oreo inside each brownie) and enjoy! Try my gluten free skillet brownie next!

Fudgy vs cakey brownies

These brownies are definitely more fudgy than cakey, but the oreos do somewhat absorb some of the fudginess while baking. However, I have a few tips if you want to make them either fudgier or cakier!

If you want these gluten free brownies to be more fudgy, cut back on the bake time! I usually bake them for 30 minutes because I like them a bit more set in the center, but feel free to bake for closer to 25. All ovens are different, so just keep an eye on yours.

If you want them to be cakier, you can either bake for a longer time or add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. The baking powder will help the brownies rise more while baking, forcing more air into the batter and therefore giving a more cake-like texture.

Can I make them vegan?

I don’t recommend it for this recipe. The eggs are really important for the overall structure of the brownies. Instead, you can try my vegan brownies and add some crushed oreos on top!

Frequently asked questions

How should I store brownies?

I recommend storing these gluten free oreo brownies in an air tight container so they stay moist and fresh. I like to warm them up before eating, but they’ll be good straight out of the container! They will keep for about 3-5 days, or a few days longer if you keep them in the fridge.

What chocolate is best?

I suggest using semi-sweet chocolate chips and either dutch processed or natural cocoa powder. My personal favorite chocolate chips are from Guittard.

What gluten free flour is best?

I used the Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Baking Flour for this recipe. You can try any other gluten free all purpose flour, just make sure it has xanthan gum. 

Why should I bake with room temperature eggs?

In this recipe, it’s important to use room temperature eggs because you don’t want cold eggs to harden the butter and melted chocolate when mixed together.

It also ensures everything is an even temperature when the batter hits the oven and can bake properly. The room temperature eggs also give the brownies that beautiful crackly top we all love!
