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.
1/2 cup unsalted butter
Add the cocoa powder and sugar to the butter and whisk until combined.
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until the eggs are just incorporated.
2 large eggs, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp salt
Slowly add in the flour and baking powder. Again, mix until everything is mixed together.
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder
Fold in half of the mini eggs to finish off the brownie batter!
3/4 cup chopped Cadbury mini eggs
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!
