What’s in this Easter Brownies?

Sugar: I am using caster sugar, but you can use granulated or brown sugar.

Plain flour: All-purpose flour is the best for making brownies; do not use self-rising flour as it has leavening agents, which are not suitable in this recipe.

Cocoa powder: Use natural unsweetened cocoa powder, not drinking chocolate.

Butter: I prefer using unsalted butter to control the salt and flavour of these brownies.

Chocolate: I like using dark chocolate. However, you can use semi-sweet chocolate. You can also use half semi-sweet and half dark.

Eggs: We will use 3 large eggs at room temperature.

Mini eggs: Use any kind you like; in this recipe, I used Cadbury mini eggs; they are colourful and lovely.

Vanilla extract: It enhances the chocolate flavour, so use a good quality.

How to make an Easter Brownies?

• Preparations: Preheat the oven to 170C. Grease a 9-inch baking pan with butter or line with baking paper.
• Microwave the chocolate and butter together for 20 seconds. Whisk them well until melted and a lovely buttery chocolate mixture. Then Set aside to cool.
• In a bowl, mix eggs and sugar well using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed until you have a thick pale mixture.
• Stir in the slightly cooled chocolate mixture and vanilla extract, stir well until combined.
• Fold in the flour and cocoa powder and gently mix until combined. Now you have a lovely fudgy brownie mixture. 
• Pour the mixture into the baking pan and Sprinkle the chocolate eggs on the top then bake for 25-30 minutes.

Top tips:

• The secret for soft and fudgy brownies is to mix the eggs and sugar well to make a fluffy mixture.
• For better results, make sure that all the ingredients are at room temperature. This ensures they all blend well. So, make sure to take the eggs and butter out of the fridge at least an hour before you start making these Easter Brownies.
• Don’t overcook your brownies; otherwise, it will take on a cake texture instead of a gooey, fudgy texture.
• Feel free to add some mini chocolates into the batter if you like. You can crush about ½ cup of mini chocolate eggs and stir them in the batter before pouring into the baking pan.
• Cool the Brownie completely before taking it out of the baking pan.
• Make sure you grease the baking pan well with butter or line with baking paper so you can easily remove the Mini Eggs Brownie from the pan.
• You can drizzle some melted chocolate (dark or white) over the Easter Brownies once cooled down if you like.This is a nice touch for a special occasion.

Recipe FAQs

Which mini eggs are the best for these Easter Brownies?

Any chocolate eggs will work fine; you can use Galaxy Golden Eggs, Cadbury mini eggs, Kinder mini eggs, Milkybar mini eggs or Smarties milk chocolate mini eggs. For me, I used Cadbury mini eggs.

What are some other topping options?

You can top your brownies with Oreo biscuits, M&M’s, white or dark chocolate chips or even some chopped nuts.

Do I need to have a scale to bake these mini egg brownies?

I don’t want to disappoint you, but the answer is ‘Yes’; please measure your ingredients well using a scale. It is so important for a good result. 

For example, if you added more flour, the brownies will turn out dry, not fudgy. So, to get an accurate measurement, please use a digital scale like this one (Weighmax)

Can I use margarine in making this recipe instead of butter?

Yes, you can, and you will get the same perfect result.

Can I make this recipe without using sugar?

No, you can’t. The result will be a bitter-tasting brownie. However, if you are concerned about the amount of sugar you consume, you can use any sweetener instead of sugar, such as Swerve or Erythritol. The result will be just fine.

What to serve with these Easter Brownies?

Anything you like, such as soda, milk, tea, coffee or hot chocolate. Try it also with my Sahlab recipe. You can also top the Brownie with a scoop of ice cream; it makes it more delicious.

Can I freeze these Easter Brownies?

Yes, you can. I used to double the ingredients and make 2 pans of brownies. Slice them up and place them in airtight containers. They will keep for 3 months in the freezer. I also put small sheets of baking paper between them to stop them from sticking together. This also makes it easy to grab one or two at a time. I have never had any problems with freezing them. When I want one, I just take it from the freezer and leave it at room temperature to defrost; it takes about 3-4 hours to defrost completely.

How to crush the mini eggs?

Simply place them in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to smash them.

Can I make these Mini Egg Brownies gluten-free?

Yes, you can. Just use gluten-free flour. I know Cadbury mini eggs are already gluten-free, but you need to check because that may change from place to place.

Tools used in making these Easter Brownies:

• Baking ban: I Prefer to use a baking pan with removable bottom; it releases the Brownie from the pan easily.
• Electric whisk: Important for mixing the eggs and sugar well.
• Kitchen scale: For measuring all the ingredients accurately.
