Description

Rich and comforting Gingerbread Brownies combining the warm spices of ginger and cinnamon with decadent chocolate.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup dark chocolate
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of dark chocolate together in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and remove from heat.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with the melted chocolate mixture. Mix until combined and allow it to cool slightly.
  4. Whisk in 4 large eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of ground ginger, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Gradually fold these into the wet mixture.
  6. Add in 1/2 cup of molasses and mix gently until combined.
  7. Pour the batter into a greased or lined 9×13 inch baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing into squares.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter to keep the texture light and chewy. Always check the brownies a few minutes earlier than the suggested baking time.
