Spicy Cinnamon Chocolate Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with gluten-free cooking spray.
• For the flour blend: Whisk together the rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, xanthan gum and salt in a large bowl. Reserve the remaining flour blend for another use.
• For the brownies: Whisk together the sugar, baking powder, salt and 1/2 cup of the gluten-free flour blend in in a small bowl. In a medium microwavable bowl, combine the chocolate chips, oil, cocoa powder, cinnamon, cayenne and 3 tablespoons water. Microwave on medium power until the chips are almost melted, about 30 seconds. Whisk until smooth. Let cool to room temperature, about 3 minutes.
• Whisk the eggs into the chocolate mixture until the batter is smooth and shiny. Whisk in the flour mixture just until blended. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake until set, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack.

Steps:

• For the brownies: Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch ceramic or glass baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. Line the dish with a 15-inch-square piece of parchment paper, allowing the excess paper to overhang the sides. Spray the parchment paper with vegetable oil cooking spray.
• Blend together the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, 1/4 cup water, cinnamon and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Beat the mixture for 1 minute using an electric hand mixer on medium speed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted about 1-inch from the edge of the baking dish comes out clean, 25 to 27 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 1 hour.
• For the buttercream: Place the cream and chocolate chips in a medium bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the pan and refrigerate until thick, 20 minutes. Add the butter and cocoa powder and beat the mixture on high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Spread the buttercream over the cooled brownie layer. Dust with the cinnamon and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Lift the brownie layer from the pan, using the excess paper for handles. Run a thin spatula underneath the brownie layer to loosen it from the parchment paper. Cut into 24 brownies and serve.
• Cook's Note: The buttercream can be made ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Allow the buttercream to come to room temperature for 30 minutes then beat until smooth enough to spread.

Steps:

• For the brownies: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a 9-by-13-inch nonstick baking pan with cooking spray.
• Melt the butter, chocolate, cinnamon, Aleppo pepper and chili powder together in the top of a double boiler or in the microwave (for 4 minutes). Stir with a rubber spatula until all the chocolate is melted. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.
• Combine the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla paste in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on high speed until the mixture becomes pale and pulls ribbons when the whisk is run through it, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture with a rubber spatula, gently stirring from bottom to top until the chocolate is fully incorporated. Add the salt to the cake flour, then fold half of the flour into the egg and chocolate mixture until thoroughly combined. Fold in the remaining flour.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan making sure the batter is level and evenly spread in the pan. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean when placed in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely.
• For the icing: Combine the cream cheese, butter, peanut butter, confectioners' sugar and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Wipe down the sides and the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Spread the icing on top of the brownies in an even layer. Dust with cocoa powder, then cut and serve. Alternately, place the icing in a piping bag and pipe icing stars on top. Dust with cocoa powder, then cut and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease/spray an 8" square baking pan.
• Beat butter and white sugar and vanilla until creamy; add eggs, one at a time beating well after each.
• In a seperate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa; stir well. Add this flour mixture into the creamed mixture and beat well.
• Spoon half of this batter into the prepared 8" square pan, spreading evenly.
• In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, nuts and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the 1/2 brownie batter in pan.
• Spoon/dallop remaining brownie batter over top; spread evenly.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350; prepare 9x9-inch or 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or butter flavored non-stick cooking spray.
• Cream butter with mixer; margarine or spreads are not recommended.
• Add sugar and red pepper to the butter; cream with mixer until fluffy.
• Using a wooden spoon, stir in vanilla, almond extract, and eggs until just combined; do not overbeat; do not use mixer; overbeating results in brownies that rise too much during baking, and then fall as they cool.
• If spicier brownies are desired, add jalapenos.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, cinnamon, and salt; adding ingredients separately to butter mixture can result in overbeating.
• Gently stir the dry ingredients into butter mixture; if desired add chocolate chips to the butter mixture with the dry ingredients; stir until combined.
• Spread mixture into prepared pan; if desired, evenly spread walnut pieces over the top of the batter.
• For a 9x9-inch pan, bake on center rack for 35 to 40 minutes; for a 9x13-inch pan, bake on center rack for 30 to 35 minutes.
• Cool on a wire rack and cut into squares.
