coffee brownies

These one-bowl brownies are fudgy and decadent, with a hint of coffee flavor.

Coffee Brownies Recipe

Cooking spray

chocolate

unsalted butter

sugar

eggs

vanilla extract

all-purpose flour

cocoa powder

instant coffee or espresso powder

salt

baking powder

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Coat an 8x8-inch baking pan with cooking spray, then line with parchment paper so that it hangs over two sides of the pan. Lightly coat the parchment with cooking spray. 

Coarsely chop 12 ounces of semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate. Place in a medium microwave-safe bowl and add 1 stick unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is melted and smooth, about 1 minute and 30 seconds total.

Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and whisk to combine. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and whisk to combine. 

Place 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons instant coffee or espresso powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder in a small bowl and whisk to combine.

Pour the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture and stir until just combined with no streaks of flour. Transfer the batter to the baking pan and spread into an even layer.

Bake until a tester comes out with just a few crumbs, about 35 minutes. Let cool 1 hour before removing the brownie slab from the pan and cutting.

When the temperature rises, it’s time for cold brew coffee. It’s super easy to make, and you don’t need any fancy equipment. Learn the best tips and tricks for the perfect cold brew at home every time; you’ll never have bitter or watered-down iced coffee again!

How to Make Perfect Cold Brew Coffee at Home

whole coffee beans (freshly ground)

filtered water

cinnamon

vanilla bean paste (or whole vanilla bean, scraped)

Milk or creamer (as desired)

Freshly grind the coffee beans on the coarsest setting. If you don&#39;t have a grinder, ask a local roaster to grind their beans on the coarsest or French Press setting, or grind them as such at the grocery store. I don&#39;t recommend using preground coffee for cold brew.

Place the grounds in a quart-sized mason jar or similar sized vessel. As long as you can cover it - even with plastic wrap - and the liquid will fit, you&#39;re set! If adding a cinnamon stick or vanilla bean paste, do so now.

Pour the water over the beans, working to saturate all of the grounds. As needed, use a spoon to gently mix in all the grounds to ensure that they are all wet.

Cover the cold brew and let rest on the countertop or in the fridge for 14-24 hours, as desired. I like to brew for about 18 hours.

Place a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl and spread a piece of cheesecloth or a nut milk bag on top of the sieve (see the post for additional straining options). Pour the coffee into the bowl to strain it.

To serve, fill a glass with ice and add the cold brew. If the coffee is stronger than you&#39;d like, dilute it with water or add cream, milk, or flavored simple syrup as desired and enjoy!
