Brownie Thins Recipes

NUTTY BROWNIE THINS

Steps:

• For the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix together the milled flaxseed and water and set aside.
• On a very low heat, gently melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a medium saucepan. Stir from time to time, then take off heat as soon as all is just melted.
• Stir in the nuts, sugar, vanilla extract, flour and baking powder and mix well. Finally, stir in the flaxseed and water mixture.
• Pour into an 8-by-8-by-2-inch lightly greased and floured pan. Bake for 9 minutes until just set, then leave to cool.
• For the garnish: Meanwhile, dry toast the hazelnuts in a small saute pan for 4 minutes. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag and crush to a fine dust using a rolling pin.
• Once cool, remove the brownies from the pan. Cut into squares, put onto a serving plate or board and sprinkle over the nut dust.

SHEET-PAN BROWNIE THINS

Steps:

• Position a rack in center of oven; preheat to 325°F. Very generously butter an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet (do not line with parchment).
• Melt remaining 1/2 cup butter in a small heatproof bowl in the microwave or set over a pot of barely simmering water. Mix sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour butter over and stir until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula after each addition, until batter is thick, shiny, and smooth. Stir in flour until well incorporated, then beat vigorously for 30-40 strokes. Stir in nuts or chocolate chips.
• Using a spatula, spread batter into a thin, even layer to edges and into corners of prepared sheet (batter will seem scant but brownies will rise to about 1/4" thick).
• Bake brownies until firm to the touch and a tester inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not runny batter) attached, 15-18 minutes.
• Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Cut into 36 pieces and serve.
• Do Ahead
• Brownies can be made 5 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze up to 6 months.
