Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¾ cup chopped Cadbury mini eggs divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease the bottom of an 8×8 baking pan then line it with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in the microwave (in a microwave safe bowl) then allow it to cool before adding the next ingredients.
- Add the cocoa powder and sugar to the butter and whisk until combined.
- Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until the eggs are just incorporated.
- Slowly add in the flour and baking powder. Again, mix until everything is mixed together.
- Fold in half of the mini eggs to finish off the brownie batter!
- Pour the brownie batter into the pan you prepared earlier. Spread it out gently and evenly using a spatula.
- Sprinkle the other half of the chopped mini eggs on top of the batter, trying to spread them out evenly across the batter.
- Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle (always the middle!) of the brownies comes out almost clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan until they reach room temperature. Then serve immediately!

Notes
- Switch up the mix-ins – turn mini egg brownies into something completely different by swapping the chocolate eggs with M&Ms, Reese’s peanut butter cups, candied nuts, or even white chocolate chips.
- Clean slices – using a plastic knife is a great way to slice the brownies without having a buildup of brownie residue on the knife (although pretty delicious to pick off and eat!). You can also use a large sharp knife and wipe in between each cut.
- Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container for up to the three days at room temperature! I typically either put them in some sort of cookie jar, zipper top bag, or the same glass baking pan with a lid on top!
- To freeze, slice them into squares and freeze individually rather than all together. You can either wrap each brownie up in plastic wrap or you can layer them in a freeze bag with parchment paper between them to make it easy to grab as many you want!
