Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Espresso powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, and espresso powder into the melted butter and chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking!).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment overhang, slice into squares or rectangles, and serve. Enjoy your caffeinated treat!
