Coffee Brownies

Coffee Brownies

These brownies are rich and decadent in texture. I created this recipe a few years ago when I couldn’t stand to throw away the last bit of brewed coffee. Not everyone likes nuts in their brownies, so I tend not to. Add almonds, pecans or macadamia nuts if you like.

INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Butter

5 Tablespoons Olive Oil

8 Ounces Cocoa Powder

2 Cups Sugar

5 Eggs

3 Teaspoons Vanilla

1 Cup Brewed Coffee

1 ½ Cups Unbleached Flour

½ Teaspoon Baking Soda

½ Teaspoon Sea Salt

Preheat the oven to 350° F. In a medium sized bowl stir together the flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder. Set aside. In another medium sized bowl beat the butter and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time and then the vanilla. Slowly add the cup of cold brewed coffee until just combined. Now, add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix until combined. Do not over mix. Grease a large baking pan (or you can use parchment paper) and pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until done. Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 hour. Cut into squares. Makes 30 brownies
