Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 15

Cooking spray
3 cups white rice flour
1 1/2 cups tapioca flour
3/4 cup potato starch
1 tablespoon xanthan gum
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup maple sugar powder
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
3 large eggs, at room temperature

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.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 24 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil cooking spray, for greasing pan
One 21-ounce box brownie mix, such as Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, such as Ghiradelli
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Ground cinnamon, for dusting

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.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h5m

Yield 24 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
3 ancho chiles, seeds and stems removed
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups light brown sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into cubes
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
5 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 13-by-9-inch pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang, and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Toast the ancho chiles in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely. Transfer to a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped, then remove 1/4 cup of the chiles and set aside. Add the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder and salt to the bowl of the food processor and pulse until well combined and the chiles are finely chopped.
  • Heat the brown sugar, butter and 1 cup water in a large saucepan over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until the butter and sugar melt, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the unsweetened chocolate, then let cool 10 minutes. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and whisk until smooth, then pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean, about 30 minutes. Put on a cooling rack and sprinkle with the bittersweet chocolate, then let sit until soft enough to spread, about 5 minutes. Spread the chocolate in an even layer with a spatula and sprinkle with the reserved chiles and cayenne. Let cool completely, then cut into brownies.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the brownies will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will make the brownies dry.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These hot and spicy brownies are a delicious and unique treat. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, or for a special dessert at home. With their rich chocolate flavor and spicy kick, these brownies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
