Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee or espresso powder
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for the top

How To Make fudgy brownies

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8×8-inch metal pan. Line the pan with parchment paper.
  • Step 2
    Sift the flour, salt, instant coffee, and baking cocoa together in a medium bowl.
  • Step 3
    Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract using a handheld electric mixer on medium-low speed with the whisk attachment for 1 minute. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking on low speed.
  • Step 4
    Using a spoon, stir in the flour mixture just until combined. The batter will be thick.
  • Step 5
    Fold in the chocolate chips. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Use an offset spatula to even the batter in the pan.
  • Step 6
    Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set and the middle is ever so slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted in the middle has moist crumbs and a few streaks of wet batter.
  • Step 7
    Cool for a couple of hours before slicing.
