Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups mixed nuts (chopped)
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal, and lightly grease the paper.
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and well combined.
Dissolve the instant coffee granules in boiling water, then let it cool slightly. Add the coffee mixture, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Stir in the chopped mixed nuts, ensuring they are evenly incorporated into the batter.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
While the bars are cooling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled bars using a spoon or a piping bag. Let the chocolate set before cutting into 16 squares or rectangles.
Serve and enjoy your Nutty Coffee Bars!
