Ingredients
Here's everything you need to make gingerbread Oreo blondies:
- Butter: This helps to give the blondies their dense, chewy texture. You can use unsalted or salted for this recipe, whichever you prefer. Make sure to let it cool a bit before mixing with eggs to avoid scrambling them.
- Caster sugar: The fine texture of caster sugar dissolves really well into the batter, helping to create that shiny crust. If you can't get hold of caster sugar, you can just use regular granulated sugar instead.
- Soft dark brown sugar: The molasses in the dark brown sugar helps to give that classic gingerbread flavour. Light brown sugar will work too but it has a lighter flavour.
- Eggs: 3 medium eggs will give the blondies a beautifully fudgy texture without making them too heavy.
- Vanilla extract: This pairs perfectly with the sweet spices and white chocolate. I used 1 teaspoon but feel free to adjust to your own taste.
- Plain flour: It's important to use plain flour or all-purpose flour for this recipe, not self-raising unless you prefer cakey blondies.
- Spices: I added ground ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg to the blondie batter to enhance the gingerbread flavour from the Oreos. Other good spices to use are allspice and ground cloves.
- Gingerbread Oreos: I put 1 pack of crushed Oreos into the batter and just over half of a second pack to decorate the top. If you can't get gingerbread Oreos, golden Oreos would work well too, because you'll still get the gingerbread flavour from the spices and brown sugar.
- White chocolate chips: 100g of chocolate chips will add extra sweetness and texture to the blondies. You can use a chopped white chocolate bar instead if you prefer a more chunky texture.
Equipment Notes
- 8x8-inch baking tin: This size will give you the perfect thickness and texture. If you'd like to use a different size of tin, use my cake pan converter to change the ingredient quantities accordingly (note that baking time will vary too).
- Baking paper: To make it easier to get the blondies out of the tin after baking.
- Large mixing bowl: To mix all of the ingredients for the batter.
- Utensils: You'll need a wooden spoon, spatula or whisk to mix the batter, a teaspoon for measuring and a sharp knife for slicing the finished blondies.
- Kitchen scales: I have included imperial measurements in the recipe card so my USA readers can give these a go, however, measuring in grams using a food scale will give you much more reliable, repeatable results.

How to make gingerbread Oreo blondies
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 160°C (or 140°C for fan ovens) and line an 8x8-inch tin with baking paper. For those in the USA, the oven temperature will be 320°F or 290°F if you're using a convection oven.
Step 2: Melt 120g of unsalted butter then add it to a large bowl with 130g of soft dark brown sugar and 130g of caster sugar. Mix well.
Step 3: Add 3 medium eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla then mix everything together until smooth.


Step 4: Next, add 200g plain flour, 2 teaspoons of ginger, 1 teaspoon of ginger and ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg. Mix well to make a smooth, thick batter.
Step 5: Crush 1 pack of gingerbread Oreos into chunks then stir them into the batter with 100g of white chocolate chips. Transfer to your tin and spread it out evenly then top with more Oreos.

Step 6: Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown all over. Let them cool at room temperature then transfer them to the fridge for 3-4 hours until firm.
Step 7: Once your blondie has set, remove it from the tin, cut it into squares and enjoy!
Top Tips
- Let the butter cool for a few minutes before adding it to the bowl to prevent scrambling the eggs.
- Don't crush the Oreos too finely or you'll end up with dry blondies. Medium-sized chunks work best.
- Don't skip the fridge time - this is what gives these blondies their fudgy texture. If you cut them while they're still gooey, they are likely to fall apart.
- If you're finding the blondies difficult to cut after setting, use a warm knife. You can warm it up by running it under boiling water and then wiping it dry immediately before cutting.
FAQs
These will keep well in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If you don't put any Oreos on top before baking, they'll last for around 1 week.
Yes, these can be frozen for up to 1 month in an airtight container. Defrost them in the fridge overnight or let them sit out at room temperature for an hour or two.
They're available in most large UK supermarkets, including Home Bargains and Poundland. If you're outside of the UK or just can't get hold of them, you can use golden Oreos or any other type of crunchy gingerbread cookies.
They should be a little gooey in the middle when you first take them out of the oven. As long as they're golden brown all over, they will firm up nicely in the fridge.
