Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking.
- Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mixing
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
- In another bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.
- Fold in the grated carrots into the wet mixture.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined; avoid over-mixing.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Spread evenly and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Shaping and Decorating
- Once cooled completely, use the carrot-shaped cookie cutter to cut out brownies.
- Use orange and green frosting to add details, making your carrot brownies look festive and fun!
Notes
Consider adding nuts or chocolate chips for texture. For a healthier version, consider using applesauce instead of some butter.
