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 (½ cups) Dark/Semi Sweet Chocolate Melted
170 g (¾ cups) Unsalted Butter Melted
100 g (½ cups) Light Brown Soft Sugar
100 g (½ cups) Granulated Sugar
2 (2) Large Free Range Eggs
2 tsp (2 tsp) Vanilla Extract
90 g (¾ cups) Plain (AP) Flour
30 g (⅓ cups) Cocoa Powder

For the Crumble Topping

200 g (1 cups) Light Brown Soft Sugar
3 tbsp (3 tbsp) Unsalted Butter Melted
3 tbsp (3 tbsp) Plain (AP) Flour
2 tsp (2 tsp) Ground Cinnamon

For the Glaze

300 g (2 ½ cups) Icing (Powdered) Sugar
7 tbsp (7 tbsp) Heavy Cream or 3 tbsp Milk
1 tbsp (1 tbsp) Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

Pre-heat your oven to 180℃ Fan/370℉. 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!
