Ingredients
Scale
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon espresso powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, espresso powder, salt, and flour.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
For an extra coffee flavor, you can add an additional teaspoon of espresso powder.
Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation.
Do not overbake the brownies to maintain their fudgy texture.
