Ingredients

The following ingredients have 18 Servings
  • 1 cup butter ((melted, cooled - 2 sticks or 16 tablespoons))
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil ((or preferred cooking oil))
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar ((packed))
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs ((at room temperature))
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp strong brewed coffee ((optional))
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1.55 oz chocolate bar ((optional (milk chocolate or semi-sweet) - grated, up to 2 ounces))
  • 1 cup strawberry jam ((jam, jelly, or preserves))

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly coat or spray a 9x13 baking pan with oil or non-stick spray. Line your pan with parchment paper if desired (for easy removal of the brownies).
  • In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the 1 cup melted butter with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  • Stir to combine, then add the 4 large eggs, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of the optional strong brewed coffee.
  • Add the 1 cup each of all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder by sifting them into your bowl of wet ingredients. Fold the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined (do not over-mix the batter).
  • Fold in the optional grated chocolate (cut pieces or chocolate chunks work too).
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35-40 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out without wet batter clinging to it. *Your toothpick will have plenty of brownie on it. The brownies will continue to set while cooling.
  • Remove the brownies from the oven when done and allow to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before removing to a cooling rack, or slicing and serving.
