Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (50g) Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Espresso Powder
  • 3/4 cup (95g) All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup (200g) Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) Unsalted Butter
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Start by gathering and measuring all ingredients precisely to keep the texture and flavor consistent. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix with Coffee: Gently melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan or microwave, then whisk in the espresso powder and unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth and fragrant.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, and salt. Sifting ensures your brownies will be smooth and free from lumps.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Stir eggs and vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated, then slowly fold in the dry ingredients to form a thick batter.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: If using, gently fold in chocolate chips to add gooey pockets of sweetness throughout your Coffee Brownies.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  7. Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set properly before slicing into squares for serving.

Notes

  • Use Quality Espresso Powder: It’s key to that signature coffee flavor without adding liquid.
  • Don’t Overbake: Slightly underbaked brownies stay fudgier and more indulgent.
  • Sift Dry Ingredients: This helps keep your batter smooth and light.
  • Room Temperature Eggs: They mix better and help create a more even texture.
  • Let Brownies Cool Completely: This ensures clean slices and improved flavor.
