Easy Chewy Espresso Brownies
The most perfect chewy brownie - With only 7 ingredients!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter room temp.
- 1 cup granulated sugar (add up to 1 cup more sugar for a sweeter brownie)
- 1/3 cup instant coffee powder
- 4 large eggs room temp.
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- pinch flakey salt
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (177C). Line a square (9x9) baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar until soft and fluffy. I like using my stand mixer with a paddle attachment for this.
- Add 1/3 cup coffee powder and mix to combine.
- Add 4 eggs, and mix to combine once more.
- Add 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp vanilla and mix to combine. If you are using a stand mixer, go slow. I recommend starting to mix with a spatula by hand so the flour doesn't go flying when you turn on the mixer. Don't over mix.
- The dough with be quite thick. Pour the brownie batter into the lined baking tin. Spread evenly and sprinkle with chocolate chips, if using, and flakey sea salt.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until set in the centre. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to cut and serve. Enjoy!
