Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (125 grams) flour
- 3/4 cup (86 grams) dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (196 grams) refined coconut oil (melted and cooled slightly) or butter
- 1 1/2 cups (300 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs (50 grams each, out of shell, room temperature)
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- 24 candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and line an 8”x8” pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring until just combined.
- Incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until almost all flour streaks disappear. Avoid overmixing.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking with a toothpick; it should come out wet, not raw.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely—about 1 hour—and chill for at least 2 hours for easier cutting.
- Cut into rectangles for mummies; about 2"x3" for 8 mummies or 2"x2.6" for 12 mummies.
- Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring at half power in 20-second intervals until smooth.
- Transfer most melted chocolate to a piping bag fitted with a suitable piping tip.
- Pipe a mummy design onto the brownies.
- Dip the candy eyeballs in the reserved white chocolate and place them on the brownies.
- Chill for about 30 minutes to harden the chocolate before serving.
Notes
For best slicing, chill brownies after cooling completely.
Use dairy-free chocolate for a dairy-free option.
Store brownies at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for 4 days.
