Make chewy, fudgy brownies infused with classic warm gingerbread spices and molasses, perfect for holiday baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the molasses until the batter is uniformly colored. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached for a fudgy texture.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For a festive topping, prepare a simple cream cheese frosting and spread it over the cooled brownies before slicing.
  • To intensify the gingerbread flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
  • If you prefer a slightly cakier texture, add an extra tablespoon of flour.
