Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Measure all your ingredients so everything is ready to go, which makes the baking process smooth and enjoyable.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix in Cocoa and Espresso: Gently melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave, then whisk in the cocoa powder and espresso powder until smooth and glossy—this creates the intense chocolate-coffee base essential for flavor depth.
  3. Combine Sugar and Eggs: In a separate bowl, beat together sugar and eggs until slightly thickened and pale, which helps incorporate air for a soft brownie texture.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the chocolate espresso mixture to the sugar and eggs, stirring to combine. Then sift in the flour and salt, folding gently just until all ingredients are incorporated to avoid tough brownies.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the surface evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached (not wet batter) for a fudgy bite.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the Coffee Brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This rest time helps the flavors intensify and the texture set firmly for clean cuts.

Notes

  • Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for the deepest chocolate flavor.
  • Do not overmix; fold ingredients gently to keep brownies tender rather than chewy.
  • Use fresh espresso powder to ensure bright coffee notes.
  • Room temperature eggs blend more easily and help produce an even texture.
  • Test for doneness with a toothpick and stop baking just before fully dry to keep brownies fudgy.
  • To get a crackly top, beat sugar and eggs until shiny and thick before adding other ingredients.
  • For clean cuts, use a sharp knife wiped with a warm damp cloth between slices.
