I have an obsession with adding espresso to chocolate desserts, like cookies and cake.

These espresso brownies are the best recipe I've created!

They are loaded with coffee flavor and perfect for coffee lovers. If you love chocolate and espresso together, you are going to love this recipe.

They are perfectly gooey in the middle with the best chewy edges and you can taste the espresso in every single bite!

I love them so much that I used the same base recipe to make red velvet brownies!

espresso brownies on parchment paper.

why you'll love this recipe

  • Coffee brownies: These brownies were actually made for coffee lovers. They are spiked with a generous amount of ground espresso which you can taste in every bite!
  • Thick and fudgy: No cakey brownies here! They are thick and extremely fudgy with extra gooey centers that are to die for.
  • Easy recipe: The only step that requires a bit more effort is browning the butter but I promise it's so worth it!

ingredient notes

Find the full ingredient measurements and instructions in the recipe card below!

ingredients needed to make the coffee brownies.
  • Butter: Unsalted butter is used in this recipe. It can be substituted for salted butter, but I recommend leaving out the measured salt.
  • Cocoa powder: For rich and dark brownies, dutch processed dark cocoa powder is best! You can use regular cocoa powder but it will be less rich.
  • Dark chocolate chips: This recipe calls for 60% dark chocolate chips. I recommend a high-quality chocolate brand like Ghiradelli for the best flavor. You can also use a bar of chocolate and chop it up if you are out of chips!
  • Espresso: For the most intense coffee flavor, I recommend using ground espresso. You can use instant coffee granules or regular ground coffee as well.

recipe instructions

Here's how to make these coffee brownies! You will need a stand mixer or hand mixer to make the batter. Before you start, preheat your oven to 350 F/180 C and line a square 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.

STEP ONE: Brown the butter. In a large stainless steel pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat for 10-12 minutes. While the butter is cooking, it will crackle, pop, and foam. This is normal! Stir it occasionally and stand nearby to watch over it so it doesn't burn. When the bottom is covered in brown bits of butter solids and it smells nutty, take it off the heat.

STEP TWO: Melt the chocolate in the butter. Pour the butter into a medium bowl and add the chocolate chips. Make sure to scrape up all of the butter and browned bits into the bowl! Let the chocolate sit for a minute, then stir until the chocolate is melted and fully combined with the butter.

STEP THREE: Whisk the eggs and sugar. In a stand mixing bowl or in a bowl with a hand mixer, whisk the eggs and sugar together until light and pale, about 2-3 minutes. Then with the mixer running, mix in the vanilla extract and stream the chocolate and butter into the bowl, mixing until just combined.

STEP FOUR: Fold in the dry ingredients. Fold in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso until just combined.

STEP FIVE: Bake! Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or spoon to evenly smooth the top. Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out covered in a few moist crumbs. Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack before cutting then enjoy!

expert baking tips

  • Use the right pan to brown the butter. I recommend a light-colored or stainless steel pan for browning the butter. It makes it much easier to see when it has browned and ensures it doesn't burn!
  • Don't skip the espresso! The espresso not only gives these brownies their intense coffee flavor but balances the richness and brings out more of the chocolate flavor. No need to go out and buy ground espresso if you have a coffee machine! Simply cut open one of the pods and use the grounds in the batter.
  • Use a kitchen scale. Baking with a scale is much more accurate than cup measurements. To convert this recipe, click the "metric" button next to the ingredients title on the recipe card. If you do not have a scale, use a spoon to fluff the flour first, then spoon it into your measuring cup.
  • Don't overbake. It's okay if the brownies still have a slight jiggly center when you pull them out. They will continue to bake in the hot pan. Overbaking will not give you soft and gooey centers!
  • Cut them once cool. Trust me I know it's so hard to wait but they will fall apart if you cut them too early!

storage & freezing

  • Room temperature: Store them at room temperature wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
  • Freezer: Cut the pan into squares then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag with parchment in between layers. Freeze for up to 3 months!

faqs

  • Does browning the butter for the brownies make a difference?
  • Yes! The nutty flavor of the butter brings out a more rich chocolate flavor.

    How much caffeine is in them?

    There is a very small amount of caffeine in the brownies. There is a total of two tablespoons added to the entire batch.

    Can I use gluten-free flour?

    I have not tested this recipe with gluten-free flour but would love to hear how it turns out!

    Is it possible to bake them in a different-sized pan?

    You can bake this recipe in a 9x13 pan for thinner brownies. They will bake quicker than the indicated baking time so keep an eye on them!

      I bake a lot. I decided to try these brownies. I’m literally 45 minutes in and they are still not baked. I used the 8x8 and followed directions. It’s not my oven. My oven actually cooks faster.

        Hi Kim, I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing difficulty with this recipe. There could be a few reason why they are taking longer than expected: While you mentioned that your oven bakes quickly, it's still worth double-choking the temperature accuracy. An oven thermometer can help you ensure the temperature is accurate. Although you used an 8x8 baking pan, it's possible that the depth or material of the pan could affect baking time, such as glass instead of metal. Double check that all of the ingredients were added to the batter, like flour, which can affect the outcome of the recipe. If you live at a high altitude, it can affect baking times. You may need to adjust the baking temperature for the recipe.

      These were excellent! Super rich and fudge with a crackly top. I’m not a coffee fan so I only used 1 Tbs espresso but it could have used more. This is a recipe that doesn’t need tweaking, it’s perfect the way it is!

      I made them in a 9-inch pan and bakes them for 23 min which I think was a little too long. But otherwise a great easy recipe.

      This may be a silly question, but when using super fine ground espresso, coffee they need to be dry and unused, correct?

      Love the consistency of the batter, but the espresso was overpowering. It may fluctuate based on the type of espresso you buy, but if you have anyone in your family that prefers their coffee on the lighter side, I would suggest cutting that measurement in half.

        Hi Beth! Every oven can be slightly different so you may just need a bit longer bake time. I would keep baking them until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out covered in a few moist crumbs. You'll also notice some "cracks" along the edges of the brownie which is also a good indication that they may be done. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other question! 🙂

        Hi Kelsey, I'm not sure what you mean by "thick"; Did you use a scale to measure the ingredients? If not you may have overmeasured the flour.

      I made these brownies for the second time today to share with my friends and family for my Name Day. The flavour, consistency and texture are incomparable. Best brownies I've ever made, perfect every time! Thank you so much for the recipe and instructions! I've saved some more recipes from your Instagram that I'd like to try in the near future! Greetings from Athens, Greece!

      Hi,
      Good to use espresso powder in place of grounds? Can’t wait to make these

      These are amazing! I have been wanting to try these for a while and finally had a chance. Used Valrhona dark 70% chocolate I had won. So rich and decadent but not overly sweet either! Perfection and simple!

      STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND MAKE THIS RECIPE!!! I have never loved a brownie recipe more than this one. They are PERFECT, just the right fudgy and chewy texture and the espresso brown butter flavor makes them even better than what you would get from a bakery!

      Made these yesterday and they were so good! I brought them to a dinner party and everyone was raving about them. They had beautiful shiny, crackly tops and were so fudgy. I loved the pop of espresso flavor and the brown butter - omg! Also, I had to make a few substitutions based on what I had at home and they were still super delicious (I used 70% dark chocolate, red dutch cocoa powder, and half salted butter).

      These brownies are exactly the thing you need if you’re craving something with a pop. They’re rich, smooth, & downright every coffee lovers kinda dessert. Paired with a little ice cream, you will not be disappointed! AND. They’re super easy to make!

      Hi - I was using a glass pan, and in one part of the writing you say if we use clear pan we should DECREASE to 300, but then in another part you said to INCREASE to 350. Could you please clarify? Thanks!

        Hi Taylor! Sorry for the confusion, a glass pan should be baked at 350 F, and I recommend checking it at around 40 minutes with a toothpick, as everyone's oven can be different 🙂

        I think chocolate chips would be amazing! These brownies aren't overly sweet in my opinion, but you could choose a bittersweet or dark chocolate chip for the topping to keep it from being too sweet.

      Can I swap almond flour and allulose baking sugar in equal substitutions or would I need more liquid?

        Hi Amanda! I did a quick google search of allulose baking sugar (as I'm not familiar with it) and it says you can substitute it in equal parts for regular sugar, but obviously, I can't guarantee the results! As for the almond meal, I'm not sure how that would work out, but I'd love to hear how this all turns out for you! Best, Cambrea
