Liquid coffee concentrate is the secret ingredient to create the most rich, fudgy, dense brownies ever! The coffee flavor balances the sweet chocolate, making these dangerously irresistible.
⅓cupwhite chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch by 8-inch baking pan with butter.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 4 ounces of milk chocolate at 30 second intervals in the microwave. Stir after each interval until it's fully melted.
Whisk together the melted chocolate, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla, and liquid coffee concentrate.
Add the sugar, flour, cocoa powder and salt. Mix everything with a spoon just until there remains no visible dry ingredients.
Fold in the white chocolate chips or chopped nuts. Spread the batter evenly into the greased baking pan.
Bake for about 30 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing and devouring. Enjoy!
Notes
Don't overmix your brownie batter, otherwise your brownies could end up tough. Gently mix the batter just until there are no dry flour pockets visible.
To avoid overbaking your brownies, insert a toothpick into the center to check them. If the toothpick comes out with some moist crumbs but no liquid batter, they're ready to come out of the oven.
Allow the brownies to cool to room temperature in the pan before cutting them. The longer they cool, the better they'll hold their shape.
To get perfect slices, run a knife under hot water, wipe it dry then make a single slice into your brownies. Keep repeating this process for clean edges.
Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
