These festive green brownies combine rich, fudgy chocolate with refreshing mint Oreo chunks throughout the batter and vibrant green cream cheese frosting. Finished with extra chopped Oreos and red heart sprinkles, they are perfect for holiday celebrations or any occasion needing a colorful, delicious treat.

Ingredients

Brownies

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter (salted, melted, 1 stick)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 15 regular mint Oreo cookies

Frosting and Decorating

  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup butter (softened, salted)
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Green food coloring (gel food coloring preferred for vibrant color)
  • 5 regular mint Oreo cookies
  • 2 teaspoons red heart sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside to make removal of baked brownies easier.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk until fully combined. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt with a silicone spatula until evenly combined.
  4. Make the Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients bowl. Use the silicone spatula to fold everything together until the batter is uniformly mixed without overmixing.
  5. Fold in Oreo Pieces: Using a large knife and cutting board, slice 15 mint Oreo cookies into quarters. Gently fold these Oreo pieces into the brownie batter to distribute evenly.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake the brownies for 25 to 28 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with fudgy crumbs but not wet batter. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan, which takes about one hour.
  7. Prepare the Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla extract, green food coloring, and powdered sugar. Whisk until the frosting is smooth and green, adding more food coloring if needed to achieve a vibrant shade.
  8. Frost the Brownies: Spread the green frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
  9. Decorate: Chop the remaining 5 mint Oreo cookies into small pieces. Sprinkle the chopped Oreos and red heart sprinkles evenly on top of the frosting.
  10. Set the Frosting: Refrigerate the brownies for 1 to 2 hours to allow the frosting to firm up, making slicing easier.
  11. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the brownies into 12 servings and enjoy your festive green mint Oreo brownies!

Notes

  • Gel food coloring is recommended for a vibrant green frosting, but liquid food coloring can be used.
  • Make sure the brownies are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting the frosting.
  • Use parchment paper in the pan to make lifting the brownies out easier and cleaner.
  • Check the brownies around 25 minutes to avoid overbaking; a fudgy center is ideal.
  • Refrigeration helps set the frosting, making the brownies easier to cut and serve.
