⭐ Ingredients

Pan: Greased 8–9 inch cake pan
Oven: 350°F

  • ž cup all‑purpose flour

  • ž cup white sugar

  • ½ cup cocoa powder

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract

  • ž cup salted butter

  • 1 cup semi‑sweet chocolate chips (or chopped baking chocolate)

  • 3 large eggs, room temperature

  • 1 package mini eggs (optional but highly recommended)

🍫 Instructions

1. Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave‑safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate in 30‑second increments, stirring between each round. Heat until smooth and melted, but not hot.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Set aside.

3. Whip the Eggs & Sugar

Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla on medium‑high until pale, thick, and fluffy—about 5 minutes.

4. Combine the Batter

Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs.
Then fold in the dry ingredients until almost combined.
Stop mixing when the batter is just incorporated—over‑mixing reduces fudginess.

5. Bake

Pour the batter into your greased cake pan and bake for 20–35 minutes, depending on your oven.
If using a glass dish, increase the bake time slightly.

The brownies are ready for topping when the center still has a slight jiggle.

6. Add the Mini Eggs

Remove the brownies from the oven, press mini eggs into the top, and return to bake for 2–5 more minutes.

7. Cool & Serve

Let the brownies cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
The jigglier the center, the gooier the brownies will be.

💡 Tips for Perfect Mini‑Egg Brownies

  • Add the mini eggs near the end so they don’t crack or sink.

  • For extra fudgy brownies, pull them from the oven while the center still wobbles slightly.

  • Swap mini eggs for peanut butter cups, M&M’s, or chopped chocolate bars.
