Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup dulce de leche
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and fully melted.
Transfer the melted chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add granulated sugar and light brown sugar, whisking until well combined.
Whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and glossy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. Stir in the chopped pecans if using.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Drop tablespoon-sized dollops of dulce de leche over the batter and gently swirl with a knife.
Cover the dulce de leche layer with the remaining brownie batter, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy your Texas Longhorn Touchdown Brownies!
