How to Make Chocolate Cinnamon Brownies With Chocolate Ganache
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position rack in the center.
- Generously grease an 8x8x2-inch metal baking pan with butter.
- Dust the pan with 2 tablespoons of flour, tapping out any excess.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- In a double boiler (or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water), melt 6 ounces of bittersweet chocolate and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter until smooth. Remove from heat and let stand.
- In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs and ¾ cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is thick and pale yellow, about 5 minutes.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and the cinnamon-sugar mixture from step 4.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture in two additions, mixing until just combined.
- Slowly incorporate the melted chocolate mixture into the batter, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional).
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- For the ganache: In a small saucepan, combine 4 ounces of semisweet chocolate, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter.
- Whisk over medium-low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Pour the ganache evenly over the cooled brownies.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set.
- Cut into 16 squares and serve.
