Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, cooled

For the frosting:

  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon brewed coffee
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: chocolate chips or coffee beans for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, combine melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, blending well.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract and brewed coffee.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Do not over-mix.
  6. Pour batter into prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. In a small bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar, brewed coffee, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust consistency with more coffee or powdered sugar if needed.
  8. Spread frosting evenly over cooled brownies and sprinkle with chocolate chips or coffee beans for garnish.

Notes

  • Use fresh brewed coffee for the frosting to maximize flavor.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Add nuts, coffee beans, or chocolate chunks to customize the brownies.
