Red Wine Brownies

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350.
2. 2
   Pour the red wine into a sauce pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Let boil until reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
3. 3
   Fill a sauce pot 1/4 of the way full with water. Place onto a burner over medium heat. Fit a heat-proof glass bowl or metal bowl over the sauce pot to create a double boiler. Into the bowl, melt together the butter and chocolate chips. Once melted, set aside to cool.
4. 4
   In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
5. 5
   Once the chocolate mixture is cool to the touch, add in the sugar and stir until smooth. Next, add the eggs and whisk to combine. Continue whisking and add in 1/2 cup of the red wine reduction. Once smooth, add in the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
6. 6
   Spray the parchment-lined baking tray with non-stick cooking spray and pour in the batter. Using a rubber spatula, smooth it out a bit. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Let cool.
7. 7
   Once cool, lift the brownies out of the pan by the parchment and cut into squares. Dust with some cocoa powder or confectioners' sugar to serve.
