Ancho Pine Nut Brownies

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. Set it aside.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, ancho chili powder, and salt until well combined. Set this dry mixture aside.

3. In a separate large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until smooth and well combined.

4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

6. Gently fold in the toasted pine nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

9. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing into squares.

10. Serve these Ancho Pine Nut Brownies on a platter and watch them disappear in no time.
