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.

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!
