Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 180 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons brewed espresso (cooled)
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and completely melted. Let this mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract and brewed espresso.
Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the bowl with the sugars and eggs. Whisk together until smooth and glossy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake as the brownies are meant to be fudgy.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan.
Slice into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy these rich espresso-infused brownies as a dessert or a treat alongside your favorite cup of coffee!
