Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 180 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until smooth and fully combined. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the egg mixture, whisking until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt.
Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix just until the batter is combined; avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve the brownies warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the subtle kick of spice alongside the rich chocolate flavor!
