Instructions

Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. -

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. -
Combine Wet and Dry:
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips. -
Bake:
Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. -

Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth. Pour evenly over cooled brownies. -
Decorate:
Drizzle melted white chocolate over the top. Tint portions with food coloring and drizzle for a festive look. Add mini candy eggs and sprinkles. Let set before slicing.
Notes
-
Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter.
-
Do not overmix after adding flour to maintain a fudgy texture.
-
For extra chewiness, slightly underbake by 1–2 minutes.
-
Let brownies cool completely before cutting for clean slices.
