Chocolate Espresso Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Whisk 1/3 cup of water, oil, eggs, and 2 tablespoons espresso powder in a large bowl to blend. Add the brownie mix. Stir until well blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 35 minutes. Cool completely.
• Meanwhile, dissolve the remaining 2 teaspoons of espresso powder in the remaining 2 tablespoons of water in a medium bowl. Whisk in the vanilla. Add the powdered sugar and butter and whisk until smooth. Pour the glaze over the brownies. Refrigerate until the glaze is set. Cut into bite-size pieces. Arrange the brownies on a platter and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in espresso powder. Stir in chocolate chips until melted. Remove from heat; mix in white sugar and brown sugar until fully blended. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix well. Stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 25 to 30 minutes. Do not overbake. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom of 8 or 9-inch square pan with shortening or cooking spray.
• Make brownie batter as directed on box. Stir in espresso coffee, walnuts and 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips. Spread in pan. Sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup chocolate chips and the espresso beans.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick vegetable cooking spray.
• Fold two 12-inch lengths of foil lengthwise so that they measure 7 inches wide.
• Fit one sheet in bottom of greased pan, pushing it into corners and up sides of pan; overhang will help in removal of baked brownies.
• Fit second sheet in pan in same manner, perpendicular to first sheet.
• Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• In medium heat-proof bowl set oven a pan of almost-simmering water, melt chocolates and butter, stirring occasionally until mixture is smooth.
• Whisk in cocoa and espresso powder until incorporated.
• Set aside to cool slightly.
• Whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in medium bowl until combined.
• Whisk chocolate mixture into egg mixture; then stir in flour until just combined.
• Pour mixture into prepared pan, spread into corners and level surface with rubber spatula; bake until slightly puffed and toothpick inserted in center comes out with a small amount of moist batter clinging to it, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Cool on wire rack to room temperature, about 2 hours, then remove brownies from pan using foil handles.
• Cut into 1-inch square and serve.
• Do not cut brownies until ready to serve, brownies can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan with an overhang on two opposite sides.
• For the brownies: Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder and salt in a small bowl and set aside. Whisk together the sugar, butter and oil in a large bowl. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk just until combined. Using a spatula, stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no flour streaks remain and then fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake until the center is slightly set, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for about 30 minutes.
• For the ganache: When the brownies are ready, put the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl and set aside. Heat the cream and coffee in a small saucepan just until it barely reaches a simmer. Pour the liquid over the chocolate and let sit for 10 seconds before whisking until smooth and shiny. Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies, gently shaking to completely coat the top. Let sit at room temperature until completely cool (about 1 hour) or pop into the refrigerator for 15 minutes before sprinkling with sea salt (if using). Run a knife around the edge of the baking pan and use the parchment to lift out the brownies before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
