Ingredients
- 4 ounces butter 1 stick
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder natural unsweetened
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon espresso powder or ground coffee, optional
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8 or 9-inch square pan; line the pan with parchment paper if desired.
- In a medium saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from the heat, add the sugar and stir until combined
- Return the mixture to the heat briefly and stir till it's just hot (about 110°F to 120°F--chocolate burns above 120°F). This will dissolve more of the sugar, to help produce the papery top on the brownies.
- Give the sugar mixture a minute to cool if it may have gotten too hot, then stir in the cocoa, baking powder, espresso powder (if using), and vanilla.
- Add the eggs one at a time, stirring until smooth.
- Measure the flour carefully, spooning it into the measuring cup, not scooping, then leveling. Add the flour and chips, then stir until smooth. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake the brownies for about 30 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out with wet crumbs (not raw batter--and test again if you hit a melted chocolate chip). The brownies should feel set in the center.
- Cool on a rack.
