Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Add-ins:
- 1 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs, roughly chopped
- Nonstick spray or parchment paper for lining
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined—do not overmix.
- Combine batter: Gently fold in about 3/4 of the chopped Mini Eggs. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Top with Mini Eggs: Sprinkle the remaining Mini Eggs over the top and press them lightly into the batter.
- Bake: Bake for 22–26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Notes
- For extra fudgy brownies, bake closer to the lower end of the time range.
- You can also swirl in a couple tablespoons of Nutella or peanut butter before baking for added flavor.
