Espresso Chocolate Brownies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Espresso Chocolate Brownies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing an 8-inch square baking pan to ensure your brownies come out easily.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, take a moment to sift together the white whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.

3. Step 3

   This step not only combines the ingredients but also adds a little air, making your brownies light and fluffy.

4. Step 4

   Set this delightful mixture aside for now.

5. Step 5

   Next, grab a small saucepan and melt some butter over low heat.

6. Step 6

   As it melts, stir in the instant espresso powder, allowing the rich coffee flavor to infuse into the butter.

7. Step 7

   Once that’s well combined, toss in the semisweet chocolate chips and stir until they melt into a smooth, glossy mixture.

8. Step 8

   This is where the magic begins! Once everything is melted and smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat.

9. Step 9

   Now, it’s time to sweeten things up! Add both the white sugar and brown sugar to your chocolate mixture, stirring until everything is beautifully blended.

10. Step 10

    Then, crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

11. Step 11

    Don’t forget to add a splash of vanilla extract for that warm, inviting aroma that will fill your kitchen.

12. Step 12

    Gently fold in the flour mixture until just combined.

13. Step 13

    Be careful not to overmix; we want to keep that fudgy texture that makes brownies so irresistible.

14. Step 14

    Once your batter is ready, pour it into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to ensure every bite is delicious.

15. Step 15

    Pop the pan into your preheated oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes.

16. Step 16

    Keep an eye on them; you’ll know they’re done when the top looks dry and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan.

17. Step 17

    Remember, a little underbaking is key to keeping those brownies wonderfully fudgy! Once baked to perfection, let the brownies cool completely in the pan.

18. Step 18

    This will make cutting them into squares a breeze.

19. Step 19

    Enjoy the rich, chocolatey goodness of your homemade brownies, and don’t be surprised if they disappear quickly!.
