Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon brewed espresso
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan to prepare it for the batter.
- Melt the butter: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter completely until smooth, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
- Mix the wet ingredients: Stir the sugar, cocoa powder, and brewed espresso into the melted butter. Then, add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing everything until you achieve a smooth batter.
- Add dry ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter which could make the brownies tough.
- Bake the brownies: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares. Serve and enjoy these espresso-infused delights!
Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the brewed espresso to 2 tablespoons.
- Make sure not to overbake to keep the brownies fudgy and moist.
- You can sprinkle chocolate chips or nuts on top before baking for extra texture.
- Allow brownies to cool completely to ensure clean slices.
