Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Caffeinated Chocolate Brownies.
Step 1
Start by bringing the strong black coffee to a gentle simmer in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir it constantly to prevent burning, and let it reduce until you have about 2/3 cup of a thick coffee concentrate. This process will take around 30 minutes, so be patient and enjoy the aroma filling your kitchen! Once done, set the concentrate aside to cool to room temperature.
Step 2
While the coffee cools, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan to ensure your brownies come out easily after baking.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the white sugar and melted butter, stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Next, beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Now, stir in the cooled coffee concentrate and unsweetened cocoa powder, mixing until there are no lumps left. This is where the magic happens, as the coffee and cocoa blend beautifully!
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until you have a smooth batter. Don't overmix; just combine until everything is incorporated!
Step 5
Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. The smell will be irresistible, so try to resist the urge to dive in right away!
Step 6
Once baked, let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting them into bars. Enjoy these caffeinated delights with a cup of coffee or share them with friends for a delightful treat!
