Oreo Stuffed Brownie Cupcakes

Oreo-2

Hi y’all! I am thrilled to be joining sweet Paulina and her wonderful blog! Twice a month, I will be sharing a new and original recipe for something that will likely throw your diet off track, but it will be so worth it! Up first, are these splendid cupcakes. Or are they brownies? Either way, they are absolutely amazing, and provide the perfect combination of textures and flavors. I love anything peanut butter and chocolate, and I hope you do, too! And bonus, they’re super simple to whip up, which means they’ll most likely be your go-to dessert to wow all of your friends :)

Oreo Stuffed Brownie Cupcakes
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 30 mins
Total time: 40 mins
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 12 cupcake liners
  • 1 box of Ghirardelli brownie mix {plus necessary ingredients}
  • 12 Oreos {I used Mega-Stuffed}
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Prepare the brownie mix according to the back of the box.
  3. Line a muffin tin with liners.
  4. Place an Oreo at the bottom of each lined spot.
  5. Pour brownie batter over the Oreos and into each individual liner until the tins are all 3/4 full. {You should have enough for 12 – if you have extra, just make additional cupcakes until all of the batter is gone}
  6. Bake according to the box directions, or for about 25-30 minutes.
  7. Let cool, remove from pan, and place on wire cooling rack.
  8. Once completely cooled, frost with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Icing!
Notes
I made these with a boxed mix for brownies. This was purely to keep it easy! However, if you have a tried and true brownie recipe, by all means, use it in place of the boxed mix, and just adjust baking temperature and time according to your recipe.
