Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- ⅔ cup Guinness beer
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup dark cocoa powder I used Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chocolate chips
Whipped Guinness Ganache
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup Guinness beer
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9 x 9 x 2-inch metal baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and line it with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang on either side. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, ⅔ cup Guinness beer, and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until well combined. Add in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and whisk until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ cup cocoa powder, and ¼ cup dark cocoa powder.
- Mix the flour mixture into the Guinness mixture until just combined. Gently stir in 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chunks.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 35-40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. If you like your brownies more on the gooey side, bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the Guinness ganache by adding 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips to a large bowl.
- Heat ¼ cup heavy whipping cream and ¼ cup Guinness beer in the microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds, then pour it over the chocolate chips. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes before whisking until combined and glossy. Cover the bowl and chill for 15-30 minutes.
- Use a hand mixer to beat the ganache until light and fluffy. Frost over the top of the completely cooled brownies. Slice into bars and serve.
