I am a big fan of Bailey’s Irish Cream, however, I mainly drink it only in coffee or bake with it. Because I love it, I always end up with a big bottle over the holidays with the intent to make a Chocolate Cupcakes with Bailey’s Irish Cream Frosting or Irish Cream Pound Cake with it. This year I felt the need to make something different with it, so when I came across this recipe for brownies with Baileys, I was all over it!
This is another Cooking Light recipe that I adapted it to fit what ingredients I had in my kitchen! It turned out really fudgy and you could detect the flavor of the Irish Cream in the brownie. The nutrition information included is for the ingredients I used in the recipe and they still turned out fairly low in calories for a sinfully delicious chocolate treat!
This recipe will make 16 brownies. If you’re not watching your waistline, feel free to cut them as big as you want, but 16 brownies, is the serving size for a portion controlled serving :).
Pin it! Bailey’s Irish Cream Brownies
These Irish Cream Brownies would also repurpose well into a cake pop! Just sub the brownie itself for the cake my Irish Cream Cake Pop recipe! The cake pop is originally made with a yellow cake, but there is nothing wrong with using this chocolate brownie instead. Especially if you have some chocolate fans around.
Irish Cream Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup semisweet sugar free chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.
- Place the chocolate chips and the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH 1 1/2 minutes or until the chocolate chips and butter melt, stirring every 30 seconds. Cool slightly. Add sugar and next 3 ingredients (through vanilla extract), stirring well with a whisk. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute or until sugar dissolves, stirring every 30 seconds. Fold in the flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Spread batter in a thin layer into a 8-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray.
- Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out almost clean. Cool on a wire rack.

Pictures look awesome Shelby!
I’m afraid my portion wouldn’t be 3 points, as I would have to cut it larger. 🙂
This might be my favorite of your wonderful brownie ideas! How can I apply for a job in your office?? 🙂
Thanks Amanda!
Linda, even two wouldn’t hurt ;o)
Beth! I would rather come work with YOU! Your job sounds much more exciting!
I’m having a lot of fun with brownies. I’m not sure though that I’m done.
Love the photo of the brownie on top of the glass of milk! I need to try and be more creative with my photos! They’re borrrrrrrring!

Irish cream and chocolate is a heavenly combo. …and they’re light? You’re amazing!
They look so moist and fudgy, yummy!
Oh geez, this sounds right up there with the jr. mint one. Oh lord I am done for here.
Those look fantastic!!!
Great looking brownies! Now I need some chocolate!
Yum! All of the brownie recipes you’ve posted have looked so good 🙂 I will have to try some soon.
So many brownies so little time… These ones sound really good!
I will be dreaming about this 🙂
Really Shelby you are making to dream yummy brownies…this is heavenly!!! If it were possible, I can drink Baileys instead of water….;)
I’m not a brownie fan, but that looks good. I would like a big bite!
You forgot an important part of the recipe: 1 shot of Bailey’s for the brownie-baker between each step! 8-D
These look amazing – can you believe I’ve never had irish cream before?
what all yummy dishes or snacks did I see today.I don’t think unless I make these my tongue would stop watering.
Cheers!!!
Oh man, I love Baileys! Those would go great with the hot chocolate I made a while ago, it had Baileys too. Heh. It, on the other hand, would break your WW points. Way too much cream. 🙂
Oh wow!! A few years ago, my friend brought me some Irish cream from Ireland and I had no idea what to do with it because I don’t drink it, but I wish I had this brownie recipe back then!
mmmm..brownies and only 3 points!! SCORE!!
Silly me. I was just using the leftover Bailey’s as coffee creamer. (Not every day, just the ones when it’s under 30* outside). These brownies will be great with my.. my.. ummm coffee. mmmmmmm.

It sure do looks good. And it’s cooking light too. Added to my TBT (to be tried) list…
~Foong~
These are soo my kind of Brownie, actually anything with Baileys is up my alley!! Thanks for sharing.
I would not have guessed that could be a reasonable WW recipe with Bailey’s in it! Thanks for posting this!
WHOA…those look delish! Very very yum!
What a great idea to add Irish cream in those delicious brownies! Yum!
Can’t argue with a little bit of Baileys!
I am extremely jealous of all these brownies you have been baking.
These look great! I usually make black and tan brownies (with Guinness) for St. Patrick’s Day. I might have to try these instead this year!
Yummy!! I’m saving this recipe since you said you can taste the Irish Cream. I’ve only baked once with Irish Cream and was disappointed that you could barely taste it (an Irish cream cheesecake).
Irish cream and chocolate! This sounds fantastic.
These look yummy! I love Irish cream!
I would so love one of these tonight!!! YUM
I suppose it's very rich in cream. I'm making this tomorrow. I think I'll try to shoot it, but I don't think it will be as pretty as your picture!
those looks luscious awesome idea will try for sure~
Irish cream , chocolate and only 3 points. I will have 2 please! Did I tell you, Baileys and I are really good friends. LOL!
Hi there! These are delicious! I'm featuring them on my blog in a compilation of Irish recipes for St. Paddy's. Thank you!! http://www.nalomakitchen.blogspot.com
