These fudgy espresso brownies feature rich dark chocolate chunks and a subtle coffee kick, made easy with a one-bowl method for quick and delicious homemade treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon espresso powder
  • ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • ½ cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170g) dark chocolate chunks (60-70% cocoa content)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter in a mixing bowl using a microwave or double boiler. Let it cool slightly but keep warm.
  3. Whisk in the granulated sugar until smooth, then beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until glossy and thick.
  4. Sprinkle espresso powder, cocoa powder, flour, and salt into the bowl. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chunks, reserving a few to scatter on top.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chunks on top.
  7. Bake for 22-25 minutes, checking at 22 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  8. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.

Notes

Do not overmix after adding flour and cocoa powder to avoid cakey brownies. Use quality cocoa and chocolate for best flavor. Espresso powder is preferred over brewed coffee to maintain batter consistency. Let brownies cool completely before slicing; chilling for 30 minutes helps with cleaner cuts. Can add nuts, spices, or fruit for variations.
