Gingerbread brownies are a delightful twist on classic brownies, incorporating the warm, festive spices of gingerbread into rich, chocolatey squares. These brownies are perfect for holiday gatherings or whenever you crave a comforting, spiced dessert.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of brownies.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of dark chocolate over low heat. Stir continuously until both are completely melted and combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1½ cups of all-purpose white wheat flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp ginger, 1 tsp ground nutmeg, and ⅓ cup of dry cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 4 eggs until they are light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3-5 minutes for best results.
- Gradually add the slightly cooled butter and chocolate mixture to the beaten eggs, mixing continuously. Ensure that the mixture is well combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Fold in the ingredients gently using a spatula or spoon until everything is well combined and there are no visible pockets of dry flour.
- Pour the batter into the prepared 9x13-inch baking pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The edges should be set, but the center will still be slightly soft and fudge-like.
- Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15-20 minutes.
- Once cooled, cut the gingerbread brownies into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting to ensure even mixing and baking.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding the flour; overmixing can result in denser brownies.
- For a more intense spice flavor, you can slightly increase the amount of cinnamon, ginger, or nutmeg based on your preference.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, even squares.
- You can add a touch of vanilla extract for a richer flavor.
Gingerbread brownies offer a perfect balance between the rich decadence of chocolate brownies and the warm, inviting spices of gingerbread. Whether enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee, or as the highlight of a holiday dessert spread, these brownies are sure to become a favorite.
