Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tart Brownies

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tart Brownies

These are the ultimate pairing of two of my favorite things: Brownies and Pop Tarts. A fudgy, gooey brownie base gets a sprinkle of buttery, crisp cinnamon (the filling in a pop tart). The whole thing gets baked before smothering in a creamy, deliciously cinnamon-y glaze. The result is such a gorgeous smell. Is there anything more cozy than the scent of freshly baked spiced treats?

Ingredients

  • 100 g Dark/Semi Sweet Chocolate Melted
  • 170 g Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 100 g Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 100 g Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Large Free Range Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 90 g Plain (AP) Flour
  • 30 g Cocoa Powder

For the Crumble Topping

  • 200 g Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 3 tbsp Plain (AP) Flour
  • 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon

For the Glaze

  • 300 g Icing (Powdered) Sugar
  • 7 tbsp Heavy Cream or 3 tbsp Milk
  • 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 180℃ Fan/395℉. Line an 8" Square Pan with greaseproof paper.
  • In a small bowl, break up the dark chocolate and melt in the microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between to make sure it doesn't burn. Alternatively, set up a double boiler. Do this by placing a heatproof bowl over a small pot of simmering water. Add the chocolate to the heatproof bowl and stir until melted. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and both sugars. With an electric/stand mixer, go for a solid 3-5minutes so it is totally combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix again.
  • Now, add the melted chocolate slowly and combine once again. 
  • Add the flour and cocoa powder, fold gently into the wet mixture with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Pour into the lined tin. 

Make the Crumble Topping

  • In a bowl, combine all crumble ingredients and mix together into a sand-like mixture. Sprinkle evenly over the brownies. Bake 30-35 minutes. Let cool.

Make the Glaze

  • To make the glaze, combine the ingredients in a small bowl/jug. Whisk until smooth then pour over the brownies (if you want this to be runnier/thicker, adjust milk quantity accordingly - more milk for runnier glaze).
  • Slice and Serve!
