I missed Nat'l Cookie Day, but hope to do something for Nat'l Brownie Day. How about you?
Ingredients
Tan Brownies:- 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ½ ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 cup)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- Cooking spray
- 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Guinness Stout
- 4 ½ ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 cup)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
- Step 1: Place one rack in lower third of oven; place another rack in center of oven. Preheat oven to 350°.
- Step 2: To prepare Tan Brownies, place 6 tablespoons butter and brown sugar in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Weigh or lightly spoon 5 ounces (about 1 cup) flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine 5 ounces flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, stirring well. Add flour mixture and pecans to sugar mixture, beating just until combined. Spoon into a 13 x 9–inch baking pan coated with cooking spray, spreading evenly with a knife or rubber spatula. Bake at 350° in lower third of oven for 15 minutes.
- Step 3: To prepare Black Brownies, melt chocolate and 4 tablespoons butter in a large microwave-safe bowl on HIGH for 1 minute or until melted, stirring after every 20 seconds until smooth. Add granulated sugar, stirring until well combined. Add 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and Guinness, stirring with a whisk until well combined. Weigh or lightly spoon 5 ounces (about 1 cup) flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine 5 ounces flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt, stirring well. Add flour mixture to chocolate mixture, stirring to combine. Pour mixture evenly over Tan Brownies.
- Step 4: Bake on the center rack at 350° for 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into center comes out almost clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack; cut into squares.
