Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter: Adds richness and moisture.
- 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar: Sweetens and helps create a chewy texture.
- 4 large eggs: Provides structure and binds ingredients.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Enhances overall flavor.
- 1 cup (130 g) all-purpose flour: Gives structure to the brownies.
- 1 cup (90 g) unsweetened cocoa powder: Essential for rich chocolate flavor.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder: Helps brownies rise slightly.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt: Balances sweetness and enhances flavors.
- 1 tablespoon chai spice blend: A mix of ground cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves.
- Powdered sugar for dusting: Adds a beautiful finish and sweetness.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and chai spice blend.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Fold in the chai spices gently into the batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking with a toothpick for moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar and cut into squares.
Notes
- Experiment with different spices for unique flavors.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature.
- For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
