Box Brownie Cupcakes with Oreo Cookies

This simple recipe for Box Brownie Cupcakes with Oreo Cookies will not disappoint. It doesn’t get any easier or more delicious than this brownie recipe! Oreo cookies are placed on the bottom of a cupcake pan and brownie batter is poured over the top and baked until cooked through and gooey!
Quick disclaimer here…this is the easiest recipe I have on the blog. It’s a no brainer…sometimes we need these types of recipes right?
I had a baby 7 weeks ago so no brainer recipes are totally on my mind…ha. ha.
But really…they are. How do I simplify cooking and baking when caring for a newborn sweet bundle of joy? It’s easy! Used prepared mixes! In this case, I used brownie mix. Another example would be my Cheesy Cornbread Muffins – easy peasy!
Also…who doesn’t love brownie mix? The batter is insanely thick, fudgy and tastes amazing on a spoon. AND you can’t really screw them up so if you need to make a quick dessert, this recipe if for you. If you’re wanting to make these with a homemade brownie recipe, try my Fudge Brownies.
So the only thing you need for this recipe is one box brownie mix (and the ingredients that go into it) and Oreo cookies. I know. I know. Can we even call this a recipe? It’s more of an idea that popped into my head – it’s probably been done before but I decided to try it out for fun, and I liked it so much that I just had to share it with you!
I can’t stand how easy it is to make these and how fun they are to make. If you have kiddos, this would totally be a fun recipe to make with them. They could easily help out and it requires minimal ingredients and clean up.
Even if you don’t have kids, make these and bring them to your family…that’s what I did! (Miss Raya Mae can’t quite eat brownies yet). I warmed them up and served them with vanilla ice cream – it’s the perfect Oreo Brownie Sundae!
Now I want to make these with peanut butter cups, rolos, cookie dough, snickers, even cheesecake…and I have 43089403 other ideas.
And that is one perfect bite.

Notes
Try my homemade Fudge Brownie Recipe if you would like to make these from scratch.
What type of frosting would make this good? I want a frosting but I don’t want it too sweet.
HI Jami – you could make a buttercream and not put as much powdered sugar in it.
😍👍
I used paper liners and the liners stuck to the brownie. I think I might have cooked too long though. After 20 mins the tooth pick still came out gooey so I baked longer. Had to use a knife to cut the brownie away from the paper liner.
yes, whoops! no need to use liners, simply grease the cupcake pan instead
Thanks for reply Jessica Erin. I’ll definitely try again but without liners and bake only 20 mins!
These sound amazing. Do you think using cupcake liners will have the same outcome? It might make it easier since I want to make more than one batch
yes! cupcake liners would work fine!
A little batter in the bottom before you drop in the goodies helps. I’ve done Reeses, Rolos, kisses …
I didn’t these with pb cups. Yum.
BUT My nonstick pray left them super hard to get out !!!
Disappointing.
What did I do wrong ???
Hi Gina – That’s too bad. I am not sure what could have gone wrong if you sprayed the pan well. Perhaps try using cupcake liners next time.
Oh man! Those look so dangerous!
hahaha! They are. eek!
