Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • 8 x 8 baking dish

Ingredients
 
 

  • cup flour
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup brown sugar packed
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp espresso powder
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chopped into chunks or chips
  • ¾ cup butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F or gas mark 3. Grease and/or line an 8 x 8 inch baking dish.
  • Over medium high heat melt the butter. Once the butter is melted continue to heat for another 2-3 minutes or until the milk solids start to turn brown. Make sure to stir with a spatula as the butter will foam. Remove from heat and let the saucepan cool.
  • Using the spatula mix in the espresso powder and cocoa powder. Then add the eggs one at a time until they are just mixed in. Mix in the sugars, vanilla, and salt. Once everything that has been evenly mixed add the flour and mix until just combined. Try to eliminate any large lumps. Add the chopped chocolate and pour into the baking dish.
  • Bake on the center rack for 45 min or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. You may want to test several spots as the melted chocolate might make it seem like it is uncooked. Allow to cool completely before serving.

Notes

If you would like to serve this warm then the brownie will not be very rigid. As it cools the brownie becomes more solid and easier to cut and remove.
