Ingredients

Brownies

  • ¾ cup Butter Unsalted, Melted
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • ½ cup Brown sugar
  • ¼ cup Coffee Strongly brewed
  • ½ cup Cocoa powder Unsweetened
  • 1 teaspoon Espresso powder
  • 3 Eggs Large, Room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour All-purpose
  • ¼ cup Mini chocolate chips Use combination of semisweet and dark
  • 2 tablespoon Walnuts Roughly chopped, Optional

Mocha glaze

  • 1½ tablespoon Coffee Strongly brewed
  • ¼ teaspoon Cocoa powder Optional
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar

Decoration

  • 1-2 tablespoon Sprinkles Optional

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar.
  • Mix until combined.
  • Then, add brewed coffee, espresso powder, eggs, and mix until smooth.
  • Add flour, chocolate chips, walnuts (if using) and mix until combined.
  • Pour this batter in a square cake pan (Dimensions: 9x9x2), lined with foil paper and sprayed with oil.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-28 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out with a few sticky crumbs. If it comes out dry, you have over-baked your brownies.
  • Allow the brownies to cool while you prepare the coffee glaze.
  • In a small mixing bowl, mix together the brewed coffee, cocoa powder and powdered sugar until glaze is thick and smooth.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut square shaped brownie slices.
  • Spread a little glaze on top of each piece and toss sprinkles. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use unsalted butter. 
  • All-purpose flour works best and cannot be replaces with out flours or flour blends. 
  • Use unsweetened cocoa powder.
  • All ingredients should be at room temperature to allow even mixing. 
  • Read additional tips above.
  • Walnuts can be replaced with other nuts or omitted altogether. 
  • Ground coffee beans cannot be used in place of espresso powder. They are two entirely different ingredients. 
  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
