Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and molasses until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
Bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
While the brownies are baking, prepare the frosting by mixing together the butter, powdered sugar, milk, ginger, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Once the brownies are cool, spread the frosting on top. Cut into squares and serve.

For fudgier brownies, reduce bake time by 2–3 minutes. Let brownies cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
