Notes
If you’re in a pinch, Ayesha Curry says you can use boxed brownie mix as a base. Just add the vanilla extract, almond extract, cinnamon, and almonds.

Ingredients
- Brownies:
1 (12 oz.) bag semisweet chocolate chips
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 cup loosely packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup slivered almonds
- Glaze:
1 cup unsweetened rice milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon rum
About 2 cups confectioners' sugar
Directions
For the Brownies:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Coat a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment or foil, leaving some overhang. Spray again with cooking spray.
- Melt the chocolate chips and butter together in a large bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. When melted, stir until smooth. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and almond extract. Stir in the flour, cinnamon, and salt until just combined. Fold in the almonds.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, until the brownies are just set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean. Cool completely on a rack.
For the Glaze:
- Bring the rice milk to a boil in a small skillet. Boil for three to four minutes, until reduced to about two tablespoons. Stir in the cinnamon and rum until smooth. Let cool completely. Transfer to a medium bowl and whisk in the confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, to make a smooth, spreadable glaze.
- Spread the glaze over the cooled brownies and set aside until hardened, about 30 minutes. Cut the brownies into 16 squares.
