Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 85 grams chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar until combined and the mixture looks glossy.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and cooled brewed coffee.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chocolate chips for extra chocolatey richness.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake for a fudgy texture.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy!
