Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 8 oz dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 tbsp instant espresso powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture. Stir until fully combined and glossy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate in every bite.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out of the pan.
Cut the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy the deep chocolate coffee richness!
