Description

The best Chocolate Chunk Espresso Brownies featuring a shiny crinkle top and chewy and fudgy center!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 Cups (250g) White Sugar
  • 6 Tbsp (85g) Unsalted Butter
  • 1/3 Cup + 1 Tbsp (78g) Neutral Oil such as Canola, Vegetable or Avocado Oil.
  • 3/4 cup (63g) Dutch-Process Cocoa Powder
  • 3 Tsp Espresso Powder
  • 2 Large Eggs + 1 Yolk
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Paste or Extract
  • 1/2 Cup (60g) All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tbsp Cornstarch or Cornflour (U.K.)
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt
  • 1 cup (170g) Chocolate Chunks or Chips

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square pan with foil or parchment paper and set aside. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325ºF (162ºC).

  2. Over a double-boiler or in the microwave (30 second intervals), melt the butter, oil and sugar together. Then immediately whisk in the cocoa powder and espresso powder until combined. It will look a bit gritty, but don’t fret, it will come together after we add the eggs. 

  3. Whisk in your 2 eggs and 1 yolk until smooth.

  4. Sift and fold in the flour, cornstarch and salt just until combined. Do not over mix. Finally mix in your chocolate chunks or chips.

  5. Transfer batter to your prepared pan and top with more chocolate chunks on top if you’d like. Bake for 26 to 30 minutes. Do not overcook. Let it cool completely before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
