Description

These decadent espresso brownies are made with brown butter and loaded with rich coffee flavor. Thick, fudgy, and with gooey centers, these gourmet brownies will be your new favorite treat.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Brown Butter:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold

Chocolate Mixture:

  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp dark cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp espresso powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8×8 square baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Brown the Butter: In a stainless steel pan, brown the butter over medium heat for 10-12 minutes. The butter will foam, pop, and crackle. Stir occasionally. Once browned and smelling nutty, transfer the butter to a separate bowl.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the browned butter and stir until fully melted. Set aside to cool.
  4. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt. Set aside.
  5. Beat the Eggs and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until fluffy.
  6. Combine Wet Ingredients: With the mixer running on low, slowly stream in the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Mix until just combined.
  7. Add the Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until just combined.
  8. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. (If using a pan with rounded edges, bake closer to 45-50 minutes.)
  9. Cool and Slice: Let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack, then slice into 16 squares with a hot sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between cuts.
