Best 3 Spicy Brownies Recipes

SPICY BROWNIES

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.

SPICY CHERRY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter, sugar and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to get any butter that might have gotten stuck.
• In a separate bowl sift together the flour, cocoa powder, cayenne, salt and cinnamon.
• Slowly beat the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Continue mixing until evenly combined, but avoid over-mixing. Gently fold in the cherries and chocolate chips using a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the baking dish and use the spatula to level the top of the batter.
• Bake until the brownies are set and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the brownies to a cooling rack, and cool completely before serving.

HOT AND SPICY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Melt the chocolate and the butter together in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Remove from the heat and whisk in the sugar, then eggs, vanilla, salt, and chopped peppers. Sift in the flour and five-spice powder and mix until incorporated. Pour into mini muffin pans and bake for about 15 minutes.
• Alternately, you can pour the batter into a greased 8 by 8-inch pan and bake for about 30 minutes.
