Espresso-Walnut Brownies image

These are really great espresso brownies and you can taste the coffee, but it's not overpowering. I make them for the office quite a lot and they're always gone the same day. The refrigeration step is important - it's hard to wait, but it makes a difference!

Time 3h35m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

cooking spray
¾ cup chopped walnuts
¾ cup self-rising flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
3 tablespoons finely ground dark roast coffee beans
¾ cup unsalted butter
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Line the pan with aluminum foil; spray foil with cooking spray.
  • Place walnuts on a baking sheet.
  • Toast walnuts in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Leave oven on.
  • Sift flour and cocoa powder together in a bowl. Stir in coffee. Set aside.
  • Fill a saucepan 1/3 of the way full with water and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Place butter and chocolate in a large heat-proof bowl and set the bowl over the simmering water. Reduce heat to low and stir chocolate mixture frequently until completely smooth, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove bowl from heat and stir in sugar. Whisk in eggs and vanilla extract. Stir in flour mixture just until absorbed; stir in toasted walnuts. Pour batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a crust forms on top and center is still slightly gooey, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and set the pan on a wire rack to cool to completely, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate 2 hours to overnight; cut into squares.

I'm not a big fan of coffee, but I still loved these brownies. The coffee flavor is subtle and doesn't overpower the chocolate.
