Espresso Brownies

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

2. 2

   Combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt by sifting them into a bowl, then set aside.

3. 3

   In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, then stir in the espresso powder. Add the chocolate chips, stirring until fully melted. Remove from heat and blend in both sugars. Mix in the eggs and vanilla until well combined, then fold in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan.

4. 4

   Bake until the top appears dry and the edges begin to separate from the pan sides, 25 to 30 minutes. Avoid overbaking. Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.
