Guinness Brownies

I love these Guinness brownies. Originally I had no plans of eating them but one thing led to another and here we are a few hours later with an empty pan in front of me and a glass of milk in my hand. I know, they have BEER in the batter. Gross, right?

Actually, not so much. The dark brew brings in an unbelievable richness that pairs oh-so well with the chocolate. Almost like blow your mind good.

So give them a try. These are a fun, and festive, way to celebrate St Patrick’s day and I hope you give them a chance.

Recipe Features:

  • Rich and Deep Chocolate Flavor
  • Light hint of Guinness
  • Perfect St. Patrick’s Day Treat!
Guinness Brownies ingredients

What You Need:

You don’t need much to make these stout brownies. Most of the ingredients are pantry staples!

  • All-Purpose Flour
  • Dutch (dark) cocoa
  • Salt
  • Chocolate chips, bittersweet is best
  • Butterscotch chips, found in the baking aisle
  • Butter
  • Sugar
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla
  • Guinness

Adding Guinness or beer to your brownies helps to deepen the chocolate flavor. The carbonation also acts as a leavening agent giving your dessert more lift.

Tips and FAQs:

  • I mixed in some chocolate chips but you probably do not really need to. It is plenty rich all on its own. Wait until these have cooled slightly, cut, and enjoy.
  • They Guinness chocolate brownies are especially delicious with a generous scoop of ice cream plopped right on top!
  • Pro Tip: Use a plastic knife to cut your brownies!

    I would probably eat the whole pan and then have to explain to my bf how I got drunk off a pan of brownies… Although, I guess that does sound like a reasonable way to spend St Patricks Day! Thanks for the recipe, and the warning about the smell before they bake. That probably would have freaked me out!
