Why You Should Make Mini Egg Brownies
- Easter only comes once a year! What better excuse do you need to indulge in a Chocolate fest?
- These Easter Chocolate Brownies are the perfect easy one bowl bake. You don’t even have to use a mixer!
- Since they’re so easy they’re also great for making with the kids while they're off school.
- Furthermore this is a great way to use up leftover Mini Eggs (you know you’ll be left with a stash...)

Whats the Easiest Way to Line and Grease a Brownie Pan
- Be sure to grease and line your pan with either parchment paper or foil to avoid any sticking.
- The easiest way to do this is by cutting two strips of parchment paper the same width as your pan which can crisscross each other. This makes it easier for you to lift the brownie out when baked.
- Alternatively if using foil, tear off a sheet which is slightly bigger than your pan and press it into the bottom and edges.
- You can then grease the pan with either non stick cooking spray or a butter wrapper.
- Using a butter wrapper for greasing pans is a great old school zero waste baking tip. You can stash empty butter wrappers in the fridge door ready for baking.
How to Make Easter Egg Brownies
This is one of the simplest brownie recipes I've ever made.
Preheat the oven and line/grease a baking pan. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a large bowl set over simmering water. Or use the microwave.
Stir in the sugar and lightly whisked eggs into the chocolate mixture off the heat. It will look slightly grainy, which is fine.
Sift the cocoa and flour into the chocolate mixture to avoid lumps and stir in well.
Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 20 minutes. Pull the brownies out and scatter ½ the mini eggs over the top and bake for the remaining 10 minutes.
Chop the remaining mini eggs and scatter them over the top once the brownie has completely cooled.
Tips For Making the best Mini Egg Brownies
- If you like a fudgy centre don't over bake your brownies. When you first pull the brownies out of the oven they may seem under baked but they will continue to set as they cool down.
- All ovens are different so set a timer and keep a close eye on your pan.
- It can be hard to tell when brownies are done. Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownie and if you see raw batter on the stick they need more time. Place them back into the oven for 3 minutes and test again.
The brownie is done when you can't see any raw batter on the stick. Note - you may see crumbs on the stick when the brownie is fully baked. That's fine - it's raw batter which means they're undercooked.
- Tempting as it is, let the brownies cool completely in the pan before removing them. They will be much easier to cut when cool.
- When you cut your brownies into 16 squares, use a large carving knife. Size up where to cut the rows by first cutting the whole thing into 4 quarters. This way you’re more likely to cut even pieces.
Can you reheat brownies to serve them warm?
You can definitely carefully reheat brownies to enjoy them warm. Preheat the oven to 350ºC, cover the brownies with foil and bake for around 10-15 minutes until they are warmed through to your liking.
Alternatively you can microwave them by covering one portion in loosely in saran wrap and reheating on full power for 20 seconds. Check if it’s warm enough - and keep cooking and checking in 10 second increments if not.

Can you freeze brownies?
Yes absolutely! Brownies are great for batch baking and can be frozen for up to 3 months. Make sure they are fully defrosted before eating.
