St. Patrick’s Day is just a few days away and while I’m not always big into holiday themed food – with the exception of Christmas, of course, these Mint Oreo Brownies are perfect for celebrating the luck o’ the Irish or just any ol’ day, too! Scratch made brownies (which are crazy easy) are filled with broken Oreo cookies (y’all know those are my favorite). To add a little festive color and flavor, we add Mint Oreos! Yes, please!
I just love the little pop of mint these have. It’s great without being overpowering.
And while a boxed brownie mix is super easy and pretty dang delicious (I love those Ghirardelli brownie mixes!), you seriously won’t believe how easy it is to make them from scratch.
Y’all enjoy!
Recipe Card
Mint Oreo Brownies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 15.25-ounce package Mint Oreos (about 15 cookies)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine the oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
- In another bowl, mix together the baking powder, cocoa powder, salt and flour. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until well combined.
- Place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and break them up. You want chunks, not crumbs. Add about half of them to the batter and fold in. Pour into your prepared baking pan and sprinkle the remaining Oreos on top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The edges should be set and the middle should look moist, but not too jiggly. Cool completely before cutting.

Used the mint Oreos for this one… absolutely amazing! I heavily lean toward making appetizers and dinner meals rather than desserts, but I just couldn’t resist this recipe (so glad I didn’t! 😊)
Those look great, Taylor! So glad you enjoyed these!

Made this several months ago with the mint Oreos—AMAZING! Going to try this with peanut butter Oreo cookies for my “Reeces-loving” hubby tonight!
Sounds like a GREAT idea!
