Starbucks Copycat Espresso Brownies

prep time: 5 MI NU T ES cook time: 40 M I NU TES total time: 45 M I NU TES

A fudgy brownie that tastes just like Starbucks Espresso Brownies! These soft and chewy brownies are loaded
with real, ground espresso to give you that jolt of caffeine!

Ingredients

• 10 tablespoons salted butter (see notes)

• 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into pieces
• 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ¼- ½ cup ground espresso (see notes)
• 3 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• ⅔ cup all-purpose our

Instructions

1 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.

2 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 our and mix until *JUST* incorporated. Do not overmix.

3 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.

Notes
 * If using unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

* I purchase whole espresso beans and then grind them on the 'espresso' setting of the grocery store
coffee grinders. If this is the rst time you're making these brownies, I suggest using 1/4 cup of
ground espresso. I use a ½ cup but it does add a bit of texture to the brownies
