These Rainbow Chip Brownies are made using the best homemade buttermilk brownie recipe! Move over Cosmic Brownies from Little Debbie...these are too delicious to compare!

Ingredients

For the Brownies:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup buttermilk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels

For the Frosting:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup rainbow chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a 13x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. For the brownies, in a small saucepan over medium high heat, combine butter, cocoa powder and oil. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla. Slowly whisk in the butter mixture. Add in flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  4. Pour into prepared baking dish and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
  5. While cooling, prepare the frosting. Combine butter, buttermilk and cocoa powder in a small saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar with butter mixture. Beat for several minutes until smooth. Pour over brownies. Sprinkle immediately with rainbow chips!
  7. Refrigerate for about 2 hours, until set. Cut and enjoy. I store these in the refrigerator for best results!
