Like gingerbread cookies, but better. Because they’re brownies.
I should have read the reviews before attempting this recipe. I hated this recipe when it came out of the oven last night but revisiting the brownies after sitting overnight changed my mind. This is a dense recipe, only having 1 cup of flour and 4 eggs should confirm that to any experienced baker. It is also very rich in chocolate having 1 1/2 cups of cocoa. My standard brownie recipe I make only uses 7 Tablespoons of cocoa .
I think they listed the wrong pan, it probably would have worked perfectly in a 9x13. Because it was so dense and rich I made a brown butter frosting that complimented the flavors well. I bet vanilla ice cream would also be fantastic with this recipe. I was hoping for more of a gingerbread flavor vs chocolate brownies. I think the large amount of cocoa over powers the gingerbread spices. Some people may be looking for a subtle gingerbread flavor however.
