Golden Whisk Oreo Skillet Brownie Bake

Golden Whisk Oreo Skillet Brownie Bake

,

It is not sure when March 6th became the official celebration of the Oreo Cookie as a National Holiday. A quick, gooey, shareable dessert baked in one skillet                                                                   
• 6 generous servings   • 8 smaller dessert portions

However here is my recipe to celebrate and 2 interesting facts:

  • Nabisco’s principal food scientist, Sam Procello, developed the modern Oreo cookie filling in 1912
  • William A. Turnier developed the modern-day Oreo design in 1952 to include the Nabisco logo.

Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 1 box double chocolate brownie mix (Highly recommended: Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownie Mix for a rich, fudgy texture and deeper chocolate flavor.)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 (8‑ounce) plain organic applesauce
  • ¼ cup  water
  • 8 oreo cookies 8 used roughly chopped and (2) roughly chopped for later
  • ½ teaspoon espresso powder (deepens chocolate flavor without tasting like coffee)
  • 1 tbsp of butter OR olive oil cooking spray

Step‑by‑Step Method

  1. Preheat your skillet by placing it in an oven set to 375°F . Let it sit there for at 5 minutes once it has hit the temperature.
  2. Prepare the brownie batter: In a medium bowl combine brownie mix, egg, applesauce, and water . Stir until smooth and combined. Chef tip: Do not overmix. Stir just until the dry mix disappears.
  3. Gently fold in espresso powder and chopped Oreos. Reserve 2–3 Oreo pieces to place on top.
  4. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven . ADD 1 tablespoon of butter OR if using cooking spray let 30 seconds pass before spraying and just a light mist.
  5. Pour batter into the greased skillet and spread evenly with a spatula. Place reserved Oreo pieces on top for visual appeal.
  6. Bake 18-22 minutes. Look for edges set and a soft glossy center. (if you use a cast iron skillet at home it holds heat so the brownie will continue cooking after removal)
  7. Let skillet rest 5 minutes before serving so the brownie sets slightly while staying gooey.
