These spring and Easter-inspired Blonde Brownie Carrots are so much fun. As usual, I kept the idea as simple as I could. You’ll have over one dozen of these carrot-shaped brownies whipped up and ready to impress at the Easter dessert table in no time.
Carrot Shaped Brownies
Brownies as a dessert or a snack is one of my food weaknesses. Brownies and cheesecake. They are both so hard for me to resist. I have a few brownie recipes here on the blog like this recipe for classic blonde brownies, zuchinni chocolate chunk brownies, and one that combines cheesecake and brownies is a marbled cheesecake brownie.
Blonde brownies are not your typical fudge brownie, but they are still irresistible to me. They are so delicious and chewy.
I know you’ll love how these cute carrot brownies taste as much as you’ll love their adorable addition to your Easter table.

Recipe
Carrot Shaped Blonde Brownies
Equipment
- piping bag with a star tip attached
- large mixing bowl
- Non stick aluminum foil
- 9-inch round pie plate
- Serrated bread knife
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ½ cup melted unsalted butter – cooled
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2&1/2 tsp. liquid orange food coloring or an amount that gives you the color of orange that you like
- green frosting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- In mixing bowl, Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder
- In another bowl mix the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla and orange food coloring
- Add the wet mixture to the dry and mix well
- Mix the wet ingredients together
- The mixture will be like a play dough consistency
- Line pie plate with foil – non-stick side facing up
- Pour the mixture into the pie pan and press it out to even it out at the top
- Bake for about 40-50 minutes.
- When are they done?
- These brownies are thick, so they take a bit longer to bake. Once you start to smell the aroma of your brownies, check on them. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out mostly clean. What I mean by that is; you shouldn’t have a wet batter on the toothpick. You will probably find cooked batter will adhere to the toothpick and that’s ok
Decorating
- Let the brownies cool completely – about 15 minutes
- Pull the aluminum foil up and out of the pie pan
- Push the aluminum foil down away from the brownies
- Slice into 16-20 slices (Cut them like pie slices starting with 4 slices and continuing to divide the slices in half until they are skinny like a carrot would be)
- Using the star tip, decorate the top with your green frosting stars to resemble the leaves of a carrot
Storing your Blonde Brownies…
- These treats are best if served within a day
- You can cover and store leftover brownies at room temperature up to one week.
