Ingredients
Scale
- For the Brownie Base:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- For the Cinnamon Swirl:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk (or as needed)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Make the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, combine melted butter and sugar. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Create the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Assemble the Brownies: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over it. Pour the remaining brownie batter on top and finish with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Use a knife to swirl gently.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Make the Glaze: While the brownies cool, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust the milk to achieve desired consistency.
- Glaze the Brownies: Once the brownies have cooled for about 15 minutes, drizzle the glaze over the top. Allow them to cool completely before cutting into squares.
