Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the molasses, eggs, and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Use the spatula to smooth the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy!
