Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 180 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons brewed espresso (cooled)
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and completely melted. Let this mixture cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract and brewed espresso.
Step 4
Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the bowl with the sugars and eggs. Whisk together until smooth and glossy.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake as the brownies are meant to be fudgy.
Step 8
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan.
Step 9
Slice into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy these rich espresso-infused brownies as a dessert or a treat alongside your favorite cup of coffee!
