Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once fully melted, stir in the semisweet chocolate chips until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 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-egg mixture and stir until smooth and glossy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch and flavor.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake for gooey brownies).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.
Enjoy these outrageous brownies on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
