Brownies ... with a kick

Brownies are one of the all-time deeply satisfying snacks. And so simple to make.

These are full of whole-grainy goodness. They also carry a kick — in the form of dried chilies.

Whoo!

Chili brownies

What you need

• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 2 cups brown sugar (lightly packed)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup multigrain flour
• 1 Tbsp dried chilies (finely chopped)

What you do

1. Beat eggs.
2. Add all other ingredients.
3. Mix, then pour into 9x13" pan (oil-coated or parchment-lined).
4. Bake 20-25 minutes at 325°F.
5. Cool, cut into squares, remove from pan and cool further on cooking rack.

Take care not to overbake 'em.

When they're done, store in an airtight container. Assuming, of course, there are leftovers.  :‍-‍)
