• Total Time: 40 minutes
• Servings: 12
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup strong espresso, cooled
• 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
6. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
8. Sprinkle the crushed coffee beans evenly over the top of the batter.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
10. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.

Helpful Tips

• For a richer flavor: Use high-quality dark chocolate chips and espresso.
• Storage: Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
• Ingredient Substitutions: If you don’t have espresso, you can use very strong brewed coffee. Coconut oil can replace butter for a dairy-free version.

Pairings

These brownies pair wonderfully with a cup of hot espresso or a tall glass of cold milk. They also make a great dessert served alongside vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
