- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp dark cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup flour, all purpose or gluten free flour

- ½ cup dark chocolate chips, to mix in
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
- Add melted butter and 1 cup dark chocolate chips to a bowl. Stir until creamy and fully melted. If needed, microwave for 10 to 15 seconds. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add eggs and sugar. Whisk vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes, until light and frothy.
- Add the melted chocolate mixture to the mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
- Then, add in dark cocoa powder, vanilla, flour and espresso powder. Stir to combine.
- Fold in extra chocolate chips if desired.
- Pour batter into the lined pan. Smooth out into one even layer.
- Bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow brownies to cool before slicing into.
Notes
- For best results, use high quality dark chocolate chips. Sugar free dark chocolate can be used, but the top of the brownies will not be quite as shiny.
- Stir melted butter and chocolate chips until fully melted and creamy. If needed, microwave for only 10 to 15 seconds.
- Regular cocoa powder can be used if needed.
- Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour can be used. This recipe also works with cornstarch.
- Do not over bake brownies! They are done when a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Allow brownies to cool before slicing.
- Store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Brownies freeze well.
