Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 175 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams light brown sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 60 milliliters brewed coffee (cooled)
• 125 grams all-purpose flour
• 25 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 100 grams walnuts (chopped)
• 75 grams dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 20cm (8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhangs on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together, stirring frequently until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and the melted chocolate mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and the cooled brewed coffee.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until there are no streaks of flour. Avoid overmixing to maintain the fudgy texture.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 28 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan.

Step 11

Slice into 12 squares and enjoy your decadent Java Forest Brownies!
