Honey Bun Brownie Recipe
Imagine combining the sweet, comforting flavors of a honey bun with the rich, decadent texture of a brownie.
Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk
- Baking pan (9x13 inches)
- Parchment paper
- Oven
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Whisk until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Drizzle the honey and sprinkle cinnamon evenly over the batter.
- Pour the remaining batter over the top, using a spatula to ensure even coverage.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a smooth batter.
- Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added; mix just until you see no streaks of flour.
- For a moister brownie, consider underbaking by a couple of minutes.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting to get clean slices.
- Experiment with adding a layer of cream cheese or peanut butter in the middle for extra richness.
