Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup walnuts (optional, chopped)
- 4 ounces additional semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips and the bittersweet chocolate. Stir constantly until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs. Beat together until the mixture becomes thick and pale, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and instant coffee granules to the egg mixture, stirring well to combine.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl with the eggs, stirring until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts and 4 ounces of additional semisweet chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly 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 (not wet batter). Be careful not to overbake.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares and serving.
