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 for non-dairy-free
- 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, use dairy-free chocolate if you're df
- 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. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Add the eggs one by one, mixing until combined after each.
- Stir the dry mixture into the wet until no flour streaks remain, being careful not to overmix.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out wet, while sides should have moist crumbs. The brownies will firm up while cooling.
- Let cool completely for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for 2 hours. If made ahead, store at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days. For freezing, wrap in plastic and store in a Ziploc bag for up to 3 months, thawing at room temperature before decorating.
- For 8 mummies, cut into rectangles about 2"x3"; for 12 mummies, cut to 2"x2.6" for a good shaping surface.
- Melt white chocolate in 20-second intervals in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth, then transfer most into a piping bag.
- Pipe onto brownies to create a mummy design.
- Dip eyeballs in reserved white chocolate and place them on brownies.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to harden the chocolate. Once decorated, chill until firm and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Notes
Ensure the brownies cool completely before cutting to maintain shape.
For best results, refrigerate the brownies before decorating to make cutting easier.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
