Ingredients
  

For the Brownies:
  • 1.5 sticks salted butter for that rich, buttery flavor
  • 10 ounces mini chocolate chips adds melty chocolate goodness
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar for sweetness and a smooth texture
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor
  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules to intensify the chocolate flavor
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour the base for our brownies
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder for a deep chocolate flavor
  • 0.75 teaspoon baking powder to give our brownies a slight lift
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt to balance the sweetness
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chunks for extra chocolatey goodness

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Baking Pan

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Brown the Butter - Start by melting the salted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir it constantly until it turns a golden brown color and smells nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it! Once browned, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: Combine the Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and instant coffee granules. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Add the Eggs - Add the room temperature eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. The mixture should become glossy and well combined.
  4. Step 4: Incorporate Dry Ingredients - Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a rubber spatula until just combined.
  5. Step 5: Stir in Chocolate - Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Step 6: Bake - Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with the spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  7. Step 7: Cool and Serve - Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
