Step-by-Step Instructions for Gingerbread Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, whisking until creamy. Add eggs, molasses, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring gently.
  4. Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then dust with confectioners' sugar. Lift out and cut into squares to serve.
