Ingredients
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp instant coffee powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 cup walnuts (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Grease an 8x8" square pan. Set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the chocolate and stir until melted.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sugar, vanilla, coffee powder and salt until combined.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
  6. Add the flour and stir vigourously for one full minute. The batter should become smooth, glossy and elastic.
  7. Stir in chopped nuts, if using.
  8. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the centre feels almost set, about 30 minutes. Do not overbake!
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan, then cut into 16 squares.
