What are Vegan Slutty Brownies?
I am not sure why these cookie bars are named slutty. After much research regarding the origin of the non-vegan Oreo bars, I still cannot confidently tell you why this is their name.
However, I can tell you what they are...
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie mixed with Oreos and Vegan Brownies. These brownies will never force you to make the hard decision; cookie or brownie?
They are the perfect combination of two classic flavors, with a bonus of cookie dough texture, leaving absolutely nothing to be desired by your sweet tooth!
It is extremely hard to improve upon the regular chocolate chip cookie or regular brownie, but vegan slutty brownies truly do that. They are so satisfying, I can assure you, it will hard to go back to regular cookies or brownies.
Why is This Vegan Cookie Bar So Irresistible ?
Gooey -These bars slightly resemble the form of cookie dough. They basically melt in your mouth.
In fact, they are so gooey, I have to serve them in a cupcake liner because they lack the integrity to stand alone. It is hard not to lick the spoon when making these!
Full of Chocolate Flavor- While these vegan brownie bars are a mix of chocolate chip cookies and brownies, the chocolate flavor truly shines through.
The fudgy chocolate brownie topic melted into the rich Oreo and then mixes well with the chocolate chip cookie causing it to be a total flavor explosion.
Buttery Goodness- Who does not want that mouth watering butter flavor when eating any dessert?!
Vegan slutty brownies have that great buttery taste to them, so much so that they will leave a little buttery residue on your hands for you to lick off.
Ingredients For Vegan Brownie Bars
To make these vegan slutty brownies, you will need the following ingredients: flour; cocoa powder; brown sugar; castor / granulated sugar; plant based milk; salt; baking soda; vanilla extract; vegan butter; oreos; and dairy free chocolate chips.
You will also need a bread tin.
Tips For Making These Mouth-Watering Cookie Brownies
Vegan slutty brownies are so simple to make. If you know how to make cookies and brownies, you basically are already there.
A key thing to keep in mind is that both the brownie batter and cookie dough are moldable and a dough-like form (unlike traditional brownie batter, which is liquid-like in its texture).
It is also important to make sure you make both batters separately, as you will layer this vegan cookie bar.
Once you are done making the the two separate doughs you will then layer the dough in the bread tin.
Layering is possibly the only complicated portion of this recipe. Think of building a lasagna.
First, you will mold the cookie dough to the bottom of your bread pan. It is likely you will need to press the dough down with your fingers to flatten it out.
Then, layer your Oreos. You will layer one layer of Oreos.
Finally, you will put your brownie batter on top. Because it is a dough-like texture, you will need to press it down to fit the pan and mold it accordingly.
Keep in mind, these are small batch so if you want more, double this recipe and use a casserole dish!
Storing The Bars
These vegan slutty brownies will stay fresh for up to 7 days in an air tight container in room temperature.
If it is warmer in your house (my kitchen in the summer can get pretty toasty) store these vegan cookie bars in the fridge.
Because they are moist, they will go bad in too warm of weather.
Freezing Option
You can freeze these slutty brownies for up to one month in a freezer safe bag or container.
You may also freeze the cookie dough batter and the brownie batter in a freezer safe bag, separately, prior to making the treats for up to two months.
