Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease lightly.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Whisk in granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and espresso powder until combined.
- Stir in flour and salt until just incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Adjust espresso strength to taste; more powder intensifies the coffee flavor.
- For an extra kick, add a splash of brewed espresso or coffee liqueur.
- Brownies taste even better the next day after resting.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
