This gingerbread chocolate brownie recipe is perfect for people who love their chocolate but still want a festive dessert.
This is a short post as I am about to run out the door but I really wanted to share this recipe with you, as it is easy to throw together but so lush and moist.
I tweaked a recipe from delicious by reducing the amount of eggs and halving (!) the sugar.
GATHER:
250g unsalted butter, chopped
300g dark chocolate, chopped
3 eggs, whisked lightly
¾ cup cups brown sugar
1 1/3 cups plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/3 cup cocoa, sifted
LET’S GET TO IT:
Preheat the oven to 170C. Grease and line a 20cm square cake pan.
Place butter and 200g of the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water – stir until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, to the melted chocolate, and use a silver spoon to beat well.
Stir in the sugar, flour, baking powder, spices and cocoa.
Scrape into pan and bake for 21-25 minutes or until just set – you want them moist in the middle. Cool in the pan, then turn out and cut into squares.
While they are cooling melt the remaining 100g chocolate and allow to cool slightly, then drizzle over the brownies to serve.

Love this!! The icing looks so melty and decadent 🙂 Awesome that you could sub half the sugar and still have a tasty result!
Mmmm, gooey… I find most recipes have waaaaay too much sugar and I can easily reduce it – and I’m not even one of those healthy, sugar-free, paleo types!
