Ingredients 

  • 170 g unsalted butter (¾ c.)
  • 270 g semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 ½ c. + 1 tbsp.)
  • 40 g dutch process cocoa (¼ c. + 2 tbsp.)
  • 1 ½ tsp. instant espresso powder *optional
  • 3 eggs
  • 300 g granulated sugar (1 ½ c.)
  • 120 g all purpose flour (1 c.)
  • ¾ tsp. salt

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Grease and line a 8" square pan with butter and parchment paper.
  • In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, melt together the butter and chocolate. Turn off the heat, then immediately whisk in the cocoa powder and instant espresso.
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to beat together the eggs and sugar for 4 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
  • Add in the flour and salt. Whisk together just until no flour streaks remain.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the brownies are set on the outsides and only slightly jiggle in the middle.
  • Wait for the brownies to fully cool before cutting. Serve, and enjoy!
