So, after being gone all last week, this has been catch up on the house week. Mostly laundry actually. Man, who knew that a weeks worth of laundry from 5 people could be so daunting. Yikes!! But I am kind of behind on my cooking and baking as well since I've been gone and cleaning. Not to mention, I needed an Oreo fix! So here we are. I saw this recipe earlier this week on a blog I kind of stock called Picky Palate. If you don't follow this blog, you should!! It's amazing. Plain and simple! And that is where I found this little concoction. Gorgeous, right!?! I love all the layers. Just makes you wanna take a bite, and really, all you need is a couple ingredients. You just prepare your brownie mix, spread oreos with peanut butter, stack, cover with brownie mix and bake. Easy and so delicious! Enjoy!!
Oreo and Peanut Butter Brownie Cakes
1 box brownie mix, 8x8 inch size
24 Oreo Cookies
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 12 muffin cup baker with paper liners.
Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. For each cupcake cup spread 1 teaspoon of peanut butter over 2 Oreo cookies and stack them on top of each other. Place oreo stacks into the cupcake lined muffin cups. Spoon 2 tablespoons of brownie batter over each stacked oreos and let it run down the sides of the cookies. If you have left over brownie batter, bake separately in a separate baker or muffin tin. Bake cookies and brownies for 18 to 20 minutes, until brownies are cooked through. Let cool completely then serve.

Here is a reduced fat/calorie version
1 box No Pudge Brownie Mix
2/3 c plain greek yogurt - fat free
24 reduced fat oreos
1/4 cup chocolate PB2 (I'm guesstimating here)
2 tbs water (another guess, may need more to reach the right consistency)
2 packets truvia sweetner
3 tsp cocoa
Mix brownie and yogurt together to make brownie batter.
Mix PB2, sweetner, cocoa, and water together to make a chocolate peanut butter spread.
Prepare like the original recipe but use the No Pudge box as your baking guideline.
This knocks the recipe down to 220 calories a brownie and that's with the double cookie inside. Theoretically, if you do it for one cookie a brownie it would come down to 110, maybe even less since you'd probably use less chocolate peanut butter spread.
It also made them go from really unhealthy to hideously unhealthy. I kind of feel like a hero.
I will be going to visit her, and my sister in VA. on November 22 for the holidays.
She always lets me me put in my order of things I want her to make :-)
I should put all of hers up her?

It probably depends on the yield of your brownie mix. The one I had in my pantry said it was 140 calories per serving, with 20 servings per mix. So 20 x 240 is 2800 for the calories in the box; then divide by 12 (the servings in THIS recipe) to get 240 calories from the brownie part of these little gems.
I did oops on the peanut butter. I assumed a tsp on each cookie, which I now see is not what the recipe says (although those pics are suspiciously voluptuous!). So I definitely over estimated there, and checking my math, one tbs actually = three tsps, so we're both a little high on the PB.
The new awful math is: two Oreos (106) + 1 tsp Peanut Butter (31) + brownie batter (240) = 396 calories per cake, as presented (and: using the mix in my pantry, which could be different from yours!)
I made these last night and omitted one Oreo, making the total calories 324. They were still extremely rich and filling (like eating an oreo and two brownies!); no one but my 14 year old son could eat more than one. Awesome, super simple recipe. Will definitely make again!
Also, I experimented with solving the "cookie stays crisp" question: I found that putting some mix in the bottom of the cup, before you add the cookie resolved this, probably by having the cookie absorb more moisture from the batter. The cookies that didn't have batter under them were definitely crunchier; more like biting into a regular Oreo.
I have to say, though, it didn't seem worth the extra effort for the one cookie version. It might have if I had used 2 cookies, since biting through 2 Oreos at once would always be kind of crumbly, so maybe the extra moisture would help in that regard.
I do that with another recipe but it doesn't have to be cooked.
So going to try this!!!!
Thank You.
Try it, or I will... and we will see what we have, other than an expanding waist line.
