St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Shaped Brownies
Hello Everyone! I am so delighted to share these St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Shaped Brownies for St. Patrick’s Day!
This is a classic brownie recipe and I make it every time I have a chocolate craving.
It takes the base of one of my favorite recipes on my blog, Chocolate Nutella Brownies, and reinvents them for St. Patrick’s Day.
These Shamrock Shaped Brownies can be served plain or you can dust them with confectioner’s sugar and outline them with some store-bought icing in either green or white to add a little festive flair.
In this recipe, I use a 3-inch x 2 1/2-inch shamrock-shaped cookie cutter.
You can find a cookie-cutter like this at your local craft store. I found this one at Michael’s.
If you are going to top them with confectioner’s sugar and/or icing, make sure you allow the brownies to cool long enough so that the topping(s) does not melt off.
Another idea is that you can serve it with ice cream and whipped cream which would complement the sweetness of the brownies well.

St. Patrick's Day Shamrock Shaped Brownies
St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Shaped Brownies are the perfect dessert for your St. Patrick’s Day celebration! Enjoy these delightful & decadent chocolate brownies can be served decorated or just as they are.
Ingredients
- 1-3/4 cups unbleached, , all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups organic cane sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup Canola oil, (you can substitute the same amount vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- Optional: store-bought icing in green or white
- Optional: 1-2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 13-inch x 9-inch brownie pan and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix all the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, kosher salt & sugar) except for chocolate chips until combined.
- In a 2-cup wet measure, add 1 cup Canola oil, vanilla extract, and 5 large eggs. Use an electric mixer to thoroughly combine the ingredients; make sure not to over-mix. Manually mix in 1 cup of chocolate morsels.
- Pour all the batter into the pre-greased 13" x 9" inch brownie pan and spread evenly with a baking spatula.
- Bake for 25 minutes and you can check for doneness using a butter knife or a toothpick, after it's inserted in the middle it should come out clean. Leave in for another 5 minutes if it's not done and does not exceed 30 minutes. Exactly 25 minutes always works best for me. A slightly underdone brownie will taste much better than overcooked brownies. When they are done, allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes to set up.
- Use the shamrock-shaped cookie cutter to cut the brownies, remove the brownies, cut around the cookie cutter, and using a spatula lift up the brownies.
- Optional: sprinkle with confectioner's sugar for serving and/or outline with a thin line of green or white icing.
- They are delicious and served warm. Enjoy!
Notes
- In this recipe, I use a 3-inch x 2 1/2-inch shamrock-shaped cookie cutter.
