I never need an excuse to make a brownie. It’s a bake that you just know that everyone will love and there’s nothing simpler that tweaking a brownie for the seasons. So on that note, I thought I’d share our Mini Eggs Brownies recipe that the kids absolutely love.

What do you need to make a chocolate Mini Egg Brownie?

For this easy Mini Egg Brownies recipe you just need butter, sugar, flour, eggs and unsweetened cocoa powder. I then throw in some milk chocolate chips to add to the chocolate flavour and we then finish with whole Mini Eggs in the bake and on top too.

You could chop or smash the Mini Eggs if you wanted and sprinkle chopped Mini Eggs on to the top of the bake but I love using whole ones and they slice really nicely in the bake too. It gives a really nice texture to the finished brownie.

We use just generic cocoa powder for this bake but you could use Cadbury cocoa powder if you wanted to add an extra level of Cadbury flavour. Also, instead of the chocolate chips you could use chopped Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate too.

We also use caster sugar for this recipe but you could also use golden caster sugar or even granulated sugar if you wanted to. It’s a really easy recipe to vary to use whatever you have in your larder cupboard at home.

Because this is such a rich, flavoursome bake, I don’t add any vanilla extract to the mix. Also, unlike making more traditional cakes, as you melt the butter in this recipe it doesn’t need to be at room temperature.

This easy bake is such a wonderful Easter treat, full of Easter candy coated Cadbury eggs. It has the perfect brownie consistency, a nice and fudgy texture in the middle but crisp at the edges. Plus, it’s so simple to vary too. You could add any type of Easter eggs to the mix – any Easter chocolate eggs from the supermarket – and it’s a great way of using up leftover chocolate from Easter time too.

How do you serve this Easter Brownie?

Honestly, we just slice and eat these chocolate brownies, it never lasts long in our house! You could also serve the Easter Brownies warm with custard or a ball of ice cream on top and it’s perfect to make for an Easter bake sale or as part of an afternoon tea spread. You really cannot beat fudgy brownies.

What equipment do you need to brownies?

Brownies don’t need anything special to make, and you probably already have everything you need at home, but this is the equipment we use:

Once you’ve got everything you need to make brownies you can just keep making them again and again – we often have a batch cookies in our house!

Here’s our Mini Egg Brownie recipe:

Ingredients

160g unsalted butter
80g cocoa powder
290g caster sugar
3 eggs
120g plain flour
100g chocolate chips
150g Cadbury Mini Eggs

Recipe

Preheat oven 180C/350F/Gas 4 and line a brownie tin with baking paper or parchment paper
Melt to butter in the microwave or in a bowl over a pan of water. Leave to cool for a couple of minutes.
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter with the cocoa powder and caster sugar.
Add the eggs, flour and chocolate chips to the melted chocolate mixture and mix well.
Fold in most of the Cadburys Mini Eggs to the brownie mix, reserving a few for the top.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared tin and smooth into an evenly layer.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes before removing and adding the remaining Mini Eggs to the top of the bake.
Put back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes until the brownie is starting to brown and coming away from the tin around the edges. It should still be slightly soft in the middle.
Leave to cool completely in the tin and then slice and enjoy.
