How to Make Espresso Brownies With Vanilla Espresso Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 2 tablespoons espresso powder until well combined.
  4. Add one box (15.25 ounces) of brownie mix and stir until just blended. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before glazing.
  9. While the brownies are cooling, prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl, dissolve 2 teaspoons espresso powder in 2 tablespoons of water.
  10. Whisk in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  11. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar, whisking until smooth.
  12. Stir in 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter, softened, until the glaze is smooth and glossy.
  13. Once the brownies are completely cool, pour the glaze evenly over the top.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
  15. Cut into bite-sized pieces and enjoy!
