Ingredients

Brownies

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 Oreos, roughly crushed (about 5 oz)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with foil or parchment paper, then spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Make brownie batter: In a separate large bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Mix well, then add the egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Set the batter aside.
  4. Prepare cream cheese filling: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract. Fold in the crushed Oreos gently until they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  5. Layer the brownies: Pour half of the red velvet brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface using a knife, spoon, or offset spatula. Carefully spread the cream cheese and Oreo filling evenly over the brownie batter layer. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter over the cream cheese layer and gently spread it evenly to cover the filling.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy and moist.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the foil or parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before beating for a smoother filling.
  • Use a toothpick to test doneness; it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
  • Crushing Oreos roughly adds texture; you can adjust the size to your preference.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • Red food coloring amount can be adjusted for more intense color if desired.
