How to Make Coffee Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease and flour an 8x8 inch square baking pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.
  5. Let the melted chocolate mixture cool slightly.
  6. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  7. Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, beating until well combined.
  8. Gently fold in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  10. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (don't overbake!).
  12. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
