yep, you read that correctly, these are cayenne pepper brownies. now before you say anything...they taste just like regular brownies with a tiny kick at the end. even i like them and as you know, i hate spicy food. when we went to visit my family a few months ago my cousin made these and trey fell in love with them (and that's saying a lot because he doesn't like most sweets).
the second most important thing....i didn't burn these!!! i love to cook but i hate to bake....and I usually screw it up due to impatience and refusal to follow a recipe...haha. anyway, these turned out perfect! if i can bake these, then anyone can!
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
2 c. sugar
4 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2/3 c. cocoa powder
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
preheat oven to 350.
line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. press the paper into the corners of the pan and lightly grease the paper with some of the butter.
melt the 2 sticks of butter in a nonstick saucepan over med-low heat; do not let it boil. remove from the heat and let cool slightly. add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla to the saucepan and stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
add the cocoa, flour, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and baking powder and mix until smooth. spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. cool in the pan on a rack, then use the parchment paper to lift out the brownies before slicing.
