Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon espresso powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350º F. Line a 9 x 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Stir in cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt until well combined. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in both sugars and then the eggs, one at a time, mixing until just blended. Gently stir in the flour and vanilla, along with any add-ins you are using. Pour into prepared baking pan. Top with the chocolate chunks.
  • Bake until center of brownies no longer moves when the baking pan is moved or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with some brownie clinging to it but not liquid, about 30-40 minutes depending on your preference.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift the brownies out of the pan and allow to cool for 10 more minutes before slicing.
