- Press the remaining chopped Oreos on top of the batter.
Baking

- Lift out the brownies using the parchment overhang, slice into squares, and serve.
- Optionally drizzle with melted chocolate or serve with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
For a lighter version, consider using coconut oil instead of butter, and natural sweeteners like maple syrup instead of granulated sugar.
