Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 g unsalted butter
- 200 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 100 g brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 125 g all-purpose flour
- 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp instant espresso powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the edges to hang over for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding the eggs.
Whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, and salt.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan for easy cutting.
Slice into 12 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
