T’s Espresso Brownies 2024

 ½ cup butter, melted

2 tablespoons refined coconut oil

1 cups sugar

1/3 cup brown sugar

⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 large eggs at room temperature

3 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 tablespoon espresso powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup all-purpose flour, a little heavy

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 - 1 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a brownie pan or a 9x9” baking dish. Combine melted butter, espresso powder, coconut oil, cocoa powder, and both sugars in a large bowl. Stir until smooth. Mix in the eggs, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the flour (batter should be thick) and gently fold in the chocolate chips, do not over-mix! Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 21-25 minutes or until they become glossy around the edges and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted 1 inch from the edge. Let cool slightly before cutting.
