All-Edge Spiced Brownies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/8 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 4 Tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tsp butter

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Butter the inside of 6 cups in a muffin tin, making sure the bottoms and sides are coated.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, cayenne, baking powder, and cinnamon, stirring until the dry ingredients are evenly blended.
3. Slice the butter into pieces and melt it in the microwave, about 30 seconds. While it cools a bit, add the eggs and vanilla to the dry mixture, but wait to stir. Pour in the melted butter, then mix until the batter is thick and uniform.
4. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 20 minutes, until the centers have risen and the edges are browned. Take the brownies out of the oven and let them cool, unless warm brownies are calling your name.
