Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Gingerbread Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, stirring until smooth. Add in the eggs, molasses, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Spoon the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until edges are set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before dusting with confectioners’ sugar.
