Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 130 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams mini chocolate eggs
- 2 tablespoons festive Easter sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some extra overhang to lift the brownies out later.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, whisking until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.
Reserve about 20 grams of mini chocolate eggs for topping, then gently fold the remaining mini chocolate eggs into the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Scatter the reserved mini chocolate eggs on top and sprinkle with the Easter sprinkles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 squares to serve and enjoy!
