How To Make Mini Egg Brownies
These brownies with mini eggs are so easy to make! You can use a stand mixer to make it even easier!
Step-By-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Chop mini eggs or place them in a plastic bag and gently break them apart with a rolling pin.
- Add eggs to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer or whisk until frothy.
- Add melted butter, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, chopped mini eggs, and unsweetened cocoa to the bowl and mix to combine.
- Pour the batter into a parchment paper-lined 8x8-inch baking pan. Top with extra mini eggs if you like. You can even place whole or halved mini eggs on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Cool completely on a wire rack, then cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
TIP: For a softer, fudgier brownie, cook for 25 minutes. For a denser, more cake-like brownie, bake for 30 minutes.
Variations
Change the add-ins in this mini egg brownie recipe to change the flavor. Some options are:
- Add chocolate chips for even more chocolate flavor.
- Use M&Ms to make M&M brownies instead.
- Add chopped walnuts for more crunch.
- Use white chocolate chunks, white chocolate chips, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate. Basically, you can use any kind of chopped chocolate or leftover Easter candy.
Storing Easter Egg Chocolate Brownies
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
You can also refrigerate the brownies for 3-4 days or freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.
FAQ's
Great question! The best way to get brownies out of the pan is to line the pan with parchment paper and then just lift the brownies out after they are done baking.
You can leave brownies out overnight, but I would place them in a covered container as soon as they are completely cool to prevent them from losing moisture.
To make these brownies soft and chewy, cook them for 25 minutes instead of 30 minutes.
Yes. Place the brownies back in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownie comes out mostly clean. A few brownie bits are okay; we want the brownie to be a bit fudgy inside.

Notes
- Don't overbake the brownies. You want them to be fudgy and moist, not dry and crumbly. For a softer, fudgier brownie, cook for 25 minutes. For a denser, more cake-like brownie, bake for 30 minutes.
- Line the baking pan with parchment paper to make removal of the brownies super easy.
- Cool the brownies completely before cutting so they don't fall apart.
