Gingerbread brownies are a delightful fusion of two beloved treats: the rich, fudgy texture of brownies and the warm, spicy flavors of gingerbread. Perfect for the holiday season or any time you crave a sweet treat with a twist, this recipe will guide you through creating these delectable delights in just a few simple steps.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a microwave-safe bowl or in a pot over low heat, melt 1 cup butter and 1/3 cup dark chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and dark chocolate mixture with 1 cup sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Add 3 eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in 1/3 cup sour cream until evenly incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour, 1/3 cup dry cocoa powder, 1 tsp ground ginger, and 1 tsp spice mix. Ensure there are no lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in 1/3 cup white chocolate pieces until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares.
Tips:
- Ensure that your butter is fully melted to blend smoothly with the dark chocolate for a perfectly fudgy texture.
- Use room temperature eggs to help them incorporate more easily into the batter, ensuring a uniform mixture.
- Sift the cocoa powder and flour together to avoid lumps and guarantee a smooth batter.
- Try adding a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors of both the chocolate and the spices.
- For an added crunch, consider stirring in half a cup of chopped nuts or gingerbread cookie chunks.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to maintain their shape and achieve clean edges.
