Good news…I have recipes!
Not only do I have the brownie recipe for you all, but my amazing friend Kate pulled through and got together a recipe for the brown rice salad that many of you were asking about. To check out that recipe, head on over to the original post to see the details.
To check out the recipe for the brownies, well then you just stay riiiiiight here.
Just a little FYI…you can obviously use any Oreos for this recipe, but I used the limited edition Birthday Cake ones (which have a cake batter-like filling). If you have not yet had these, all I’ll say is…WOW.

Lightened Up Fudgy Oreo Brownies
- Prep Time: 8-10 minutes
- Cook Time: 25-30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 generous tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup egg substitute
- 1 (2.5 ounce) container prune puree
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 8-10 Oreos*, crushed
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8×8 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Melt chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, working in 20 second intervals and stirring after each until chocolate is smooth. Be careful NOT to scorch chocolate!
In a medium-sized bowl, combine egg substitute, prune puree, sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Add in melted chocolate and stir until smooth. Gradually add flours and cocoa powder (it will take a little while to fully incorporate) but stir just until blended. Fold in crushed Oreos.
Pour brownie batter into prepared baking dish and bake 25-30 minutes, or until edges begin to get crispy. Cool on wire rack, cut, and enjoy!

Yum!! Prune puree scares me, but I guess if there is chocolate involved I may just tough it out :)
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance says
I’m a little afraid of the prune puree but I want to make these! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Don’t be afraid! I promise, you can’t taste it!!
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
Those birthday Oreos are calling my name! …..but, it has been YEARS since I’ve even had an oreo- they just aren’t around for me to eat- this must change!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
I like the way you think with that prune puree! Nice going!

michelle kim says
Prune puree?? Who knew!? Looks delicious :D
We are going to have a bake sale at church soon, so I should probably make this (or one of your many other baked goods!).
Shannon says
Is it possible to make these brownies without the prune puree? The prune puree is scaring me; otherwise, I’d be allllll over them. :)
Courtney says
I’m not sure, but honestly, you can’t taste it at ALL. My husband LOVED them and he’s picky!
Linz @ Itz Linz says
cake batter flavored oreos??? cake batter is my favorite flavor in EVERYTHING so i’m sure i’d love these!
Alysha @Shesontherun says
I sooo need a brownie right now. Swoon.
Sana says
woah……
Val says
I just made these tonight! With a slight variation, I used apple sauce instead of prune puree and they turned out a little dry, but still delish! Great recipe. Will defs be trying this again:)
Sara @ The Foodie Diaries says
It’s 10:30 PM and I have to be up for work at 5:30.. but all I want to do now is to drive 20 minutes to the 24 hour CVS and buy birthday cake Oreo’s. It’s a problem. hahaha can’t wait to try to make these at a DECENT hour :)
Suz says
cake batter Oreos that sounds amazing (the batter is always my favourite part of baking!) but I dont think we got that limited addition in Australia :(
Nicole says
Wow, awesome!
Where does one find pune purée anyway? By the canned pumpkin? Or the organic section? Or is it baby food? Haha, I’m completely lost and wouldn’t know where to look!
Khushboo Thadani says
Prune puree?? I guess I have no choice but to try this out to get rid of my doubts :)!
Emily says
I want to make these ASAP! Do you think you could substitute baking splenda or truvia for the white sugar??
Annie says
I’m gonna make that rice salad very soon! It sounds lush!
Laura says
I use Rachel Ray’s fudge wreath recipe that isn’t really creamy but sounds like what you are looking for. It uses condensed milk. while you can make it in a wreath shape-I simply make the square shapes.
Michelle @ Blogitness says
These sounds amazing!
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
Welp, now I have to go get those Oreos!
The other day my husband said “I wish they made peanut butter Oreos.” Um, hello?!?! Peanut butter Oreos have been around for years dude, get with the program! Ever since that conversation, I’ve had Oreos on the brain!
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
These look and sound amazing! :) I have never heard of prune puree. I’d be interested to see what difference it makes in a brownie.
hazel says
I craved for something sweet and I found your blog. This is my next target! Woooo!
kayleigh says
Is there anything I could substitute for the egg replacer? I’d just rather not go buy it and not use it again. And do you mean the powdery stuff or the egg beaters type thing? Love your use of prunes!
Vasu says
Can you buy prune puree or did you puree it yourself?
Courtney says
I bought it. It’s in with the baby food! :)
Samira says
I really like recipes like this.. But I have one drawback. There are three children in my family and they all love sweets)) I have to bake something every day. Such a high intensity of oven use greatly affects the quality of our ventilation. Sometimes it seems to me that the whole house smells like cookies.
Lillis says
Hi! The appearance of foreign odors in the bedroom is a characteristic marker for a clogged ventilation system. This happens if a kitchen hood, fireplace and heat pump are included in one system. You need help with this before the situation becomes critical. I recommend you read about duct cleaning – https://wheon.com/frequency-of-duct-cleaning-for-homes/ Most likely you can find such helpers in your city.
