Spicy White Chocolate Blueberry Brownies Recipes

SPICY CINNAMON-CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

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.

BLUEBERRY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 8-inch square baking pan.
• Cook 2 cups blueberries in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add cinnamon and stir. Smash berries gently using a fork or a potato masher, being careful that hot juices do not splash back. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and you have a thick syrup, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove blueberries from heat and stir in butter to melt. Add sugar and stir to combine. Pour in eggs when mixture has slightly cooled, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour in vanilla extract and stir to combine. Fold in walnuts. Fold flour gently into mixture. Beat well, 60 to 80 strokes, adding up to 1/4 cup additional flour as needed if batter seems too wet. Add remaining 1/2 cup blueberries and stir to combine.
• Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting and serving.

BERRY AND WHITE CHOCOLATE BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x9-inch pan with enough parchment paper to have overhang on all sides.
• Mix together melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until thoroughly combined and mixture begins to lighten in color. Mix in egg, vanilla, and almond extract until thoroughly combined. Add in flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg, and mix until just combined. Gently fold in berries and white chocolate chips.
• Pour batter into the prepared pan. Carefully spread into an even layer.
• Place pan into preheated oven and bake until blondies are golden brown and set, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove blondies from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan. Gently lift out of the pan using the excess parchment paper. Cut into 16 squares.

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 WHITE CHOCOLATE-BLUEBERRY BROWNIES

Steps:

• 1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter 8-inch non-stick square baking pan.
• 2 Stir 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips (I use ghiradelli premium white chocolate baking chips) in large heat-safe glass bowl set over saucepan of simmering water until melted and smooth, or use a microwave in 30 second increments. Set aside to cool slightly.

Stir in flour mixture just until blended being careful not to overmix. Fold in white chocolate chips and nuts. Gently fold in blueberries just until distributed evenly. Transfer batter to greased pan, spreading evenly.
