Frangipane Brownies

Servings 16 brownies

Ingredients

For the brownies:

  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup dutch processed cocoa
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. baking powder

For the frangipane:

  • 6 tbs. softened butter
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. almond extract
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions

For the brownies:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a quarter sheet pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, oil, sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add in all 3 eggs and the vanilla extract, and whisk together until well combined. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, and then stir this mixture into your large bowl. At this point you want to whisk the batter for a full 5 minutes by hand. It’s going to seem like a really long time to mix this batter, but trust me! It helps create the perfect texture.
  3. Once you’ve mixed the batter well, pour the batter into your prepared pan, reserving about 1/4 cup of the batter, and spread it evenly.

For the frangipane:

  1. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract, almond flour, and salt until combined. The mixture should be a fairly thick paste.
  2. Dollop the frangipane all over the brownie batter in your pan. Dollop the remaining brownie batter over the top, and use a knife to swirl it around until it's looking pretty. Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until the brownies look set on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a few crumbs clinging to it. Cool completely before slicing and serving!
