How to cook deliciously - Guinness Chocolate Brownies

1. Stage

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Stage

Prepare a square baking pan: Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper or foil in a way that there is overhang over 2 sides of the dish, making it easy to remove the brownies once they are baked. Brush with a little butter or baking spray.

3. Stage

Boil the Guinness and reduce by half: Pour the Guinness in a medium (2-quart) saucepan and bring to a boil. Watch out for the stout bubbling up too much, and adjust heat as needed. Boil until the liquid reduces by half.

4. Stage

Progressively add the ingredients to the Guinness, then let cool: Stir the butter into the reduced Guinness until melted. Add the sugar and whisk until dissolved. Whisk in the cocoa, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool until just lightly warm to the touch.

5. Stage

Stir in the vanilla, eggs, flour, and nuts: When the mixture has cooled until just lightly warm to the touch, stir in the vanilla extract and eggs. Stir in the flour until smooth. Then, stir in the nuts (if using).

6. Stage

Bake for 30 minutes: Pour into the prepared baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.

7. Stage

Let cool, cut, and serve: Cool on a rack. When completely cool, lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into 16 to 25 squares or rectangles. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
