I adore anything that combines coffee and chocolate, and these rich and moist espresso brownies do just that. I couldn’t think of a better recipe to be the first thing I baked in my new house.
These brownies utilize a staple in my kitchen – instant espresso. I use this in all sorts of things, including smoothies like my Chocolate Milk Shake Smoothie.
Baking these in a pan that is lined with parchment paper allows you to easily remove them to a cooling rack so that they don’t over bake.
If you love wickedly rich and moist brownies, you’ll swoon over these.
Deep Dark Espresso Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 c 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
- 2 c sugar
- 1/3 c + 1 Tb instant espresso granules, not ground espresso
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 c all purpose flour

- To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- In your mixing bowl, beat together the melted butter and sugar until creamy.
