Take the warm spiced flavors of gingerbread and combine it with a super fudgy brownie and you’ll get these Gingerbread Brownies! These are the chocolate dessert you need every Holiday season. The best of both worlds combine when you can have a gingerbread spiced dessert that’s also chocolate!

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THESE BROWNIES

First, these are EASY! The secret trick here is that this is a doctored box brownies recipe. This is the gingerbread brownie you can whip up and get in the oven in less than 10 minutes!

Next, the flavors in these are pure Christmas season! The brownie batter is generously spiced with cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. When you combine those flavors with rich dark chocolate I think Santa will start requesting gingerbread brownies on Christmas Eve instead of cookies!

Last, these make for the perfect brownie sundae. You can go with vanilla, but my suggestion is coffee ice cream.

INGREDIENTS

Here’s what you need to whip these up! When it comes to the box of brownies it’s really important that the oil to water to egg ratios match below. Having the higher oil than water helps these stay SO fudgey!

  • 1 box of dark chocolate brownies
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon molasses

Now isn’t that the perfect gingerbread spice combination? The molasses aren’t there for the flavor, they’re my secret trick for making sure these stay super moist and fudgy.

  • Method: Baking
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

1 box dark chocolate brownies (follow ingredients below for the eggs, water, oil)
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 tablespoon molasses
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×9 baking pan with cooking spray. Don’t use a larger baking pan or the brownies won’t be fudgy. 

2. In a small bowl combine the cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.

3. In a large bowl combine the brownie mix, oil, water, and eggs. Stir in the molasses, then lastly mix in the spice blend.

4. Pour the brownie batter into the baking pan then bake for 30 minutes.

Serve with vanilla or coffee ice cream!

Notes

Since these are moist and fudgy brownies, if you test the brownies with a knife or toothpick it will not come out clean.

Warm brownies are easiest to cut with a plastic knife!
