The Story Behind the Recipe:
At The Artisanal Bean, we believe that coffee isn’t just a beverage—it’s an experience. This recipe was inspired by our love for the perfect pairing of coffee and chocolate. These brownies capture that essence, offering a rich, indulgent treat that’s as satisfying as your favorite cup of coffee.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons brewed espresso (cooled)
1/2 cup (90g) semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
Add the brewed espresso to the batter, mixing until fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.
Serve with a freshly brewed cup of coffee from The Artisanal Bean for the ultimate indulgence.
