Best 3 Extra Caffeinated Brownies Recipes

STARBUCKS COPYCAT ESPRESSO BROWNIES

Steps:

• PREP: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray an 8x8 square baking dish with cooking spray, set aside.
• MELT: Fill a medium saucepan halfway full with water and heat over medium heat. Place a glass bowl over the saucepan so that it rests in the saucepan without touching the water. Add the butter and chocolate and allow it to melt completely. Remove from heat. Stir in the sugar and espresso grounds and continue to mix until the sugar is completely mixed. Add the eggs, one at a time, waiting until each is incorporated before adding in the next. Add the cocoa powder along with the flour and mix until *JUST* incorporated. Do not overmix.
• BAKE: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top. Bake the brownies for 30-38 minutes. I baked mine for 35 minutes exactly and they were slightly underdone and extra fudgy, which is exactly how we like them. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before removing from the baking dish. Serve warm.

EXTRA STRONG COFFEE BROWNIES.

Steps:

• In a large pot, add coffee and bring to a low boil over medium high heat. Simmer until coffee is reduced to 2/3 of a thick concentrate. Stir often to avoid burning the coffee. This takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour. This can be also be done in advance as it's the most time-consuming step of the recipe.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add white sugar, brown sugar and melted butter in a large bowl, mix until combined with electric hand mixer. Add in eggs, vanilla extract and coffee, continuing to stir. Add flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder until the batter is smooth. Add in chocolate chips and stir with a spoon.
• Spray a 8x8 baking pan with nonstick spray. Pour batter into baking pan. Bake for 33-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool before cutting into squares.

EXTRA EXTRA RICH BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch square baking pan.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and unsweetened cocoa. Stir in the oil, vanilla, and 3/4 cup of evaporated milk until well blended. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• To make the frosting: In a small saucepan, combine the remaining evaporated milk, sweetened cocoa, and butter. Cook over medium heat until almost boiling, remove from heat and chill until brownies are ready. When brownies are completely cool, frost with the chilled icing and cut into bars, or frost them individually.
