🍫 Coffee Brownie Recipe


Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs

  • 150 g sugar

  • 80 ml vegetable oil or 100 g melted unsalted butter

  • 2 tbsp instant coffee

  • 150 ml warm water or milk

  • 50 g cocoa powder

  • 120–130 g all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice (to activate the soda)

  • Pinch of salt

  • Optional: 70–100 g chopped chocolate or chocolate chips

🔪 Instructions


1. Preheat the oven


Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brownies bake best in a fully heated oven, so let it warm up while preparing the batter.


2. Prepare the coffee mixture


In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee in warm water or warm milk. This creates a strong, aromatic base for the brownies.


3. Mix the wet ingredients


In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar just until combined.

Add the oil (or melted butter) and the coffee mixture. Stir to blend.


4. Add the dry ingredients


Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gently mix until the batter becomes smooth.


5. Activate the baking soda


In a small cup, combine the baking soda with vinegar or lemon juice.

It will foam — immediately pour it into the batter and mix lightly.


6. Add chocolate (optional)


Fold in chocolate chips or chunks for extra richness.


7. Bake


Pour the batter into a lined or greased 20×20 cm (8×8 inch) baking pan.

Bake for 20–25 minutes at 350°F.


The brownies are ready when:

  • the edges look set and matte

  • the center is slightly soft

  • a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, not dry


8. Cool and serve


Let the brownies cool for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing.

They will firm up and become perfectly fudgy as they rest.

☕ Tips for Best Results

  • Don’t overmix the batter — it can make the brownies cakey.

  • Undercooking slightly gives the best fudgy texture.

  • For stronger coffee flavor, add an extra ½ tablespoon of instant coffee.

  • For a mocha version, stir in chocolate chunks and top with a dusting of cocoa.

📌 Storage

  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 3–4 days.

  • For longer storage, freeze slices for up to 2 months.
