Instructions

  1. First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
  2. Add melted butter and 1 cup dark chocolate chips to a bowl. Stir until creamy and fully melted. If needed, microwave for 10 to 15 seconds. Set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, add eggs and sugar. Whisk vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes, until light and frothy.
  4. Add the melted chocolate mixture to the mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
  5. Then, add in dark cocoa powder, vanilla, flour and espresso powder. Stir to combine.
  6. Fold in extra chocolate chips if desired.
  7. Pour batter into the lined pan. Smooth out into one even layer.
  8. Bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  9. Finally, remove from oven. Allow brownies to cool before slicing into.

Notes

  • For best results, use high quality dark chocolate chips.  Sugar free dark chocolate can be used, but the top of the brownies will not be quite as shiny.
  • Stir melted butter and chocolate chips until fully melted and creamy.  If needed, microwave for only 10 to 15 seconds.
  • Regular cocoa powder can be used if needed.
  • Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour can be used.  This recipe also works with cornstarch.
  • Do not over bake brownies!  They are done when a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  • Allow brownies to cool before slicing.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Brownies freeze well.
