Ultimate Brownie Recipe
This Ultimate Brownie Recipe is rich and chocolatey, with a super chewy centre and a perfectly crackled top.
These chocolate brownies taste great on their own or topped with a buttercream frosting. You can also try them with my Baileys Irish Cream frosting recipe or a simple chocolate glaze.
The instant coffee granules I add to my brownie recipe enhances the richness of the chocolate flavor.
Enjoy these brownies with a large glass of cold milk or top with some vanilla ice-cream! A decadent dessert for the true chocolate lover with combination of dark chocolate and cocoa powder.

Could I use espresso instead of the coffee
Espresso would taste great. I am a coffee lover.
If I want to add Walnuts, what adjustments to the recipe do I need to make?
Hi,
You mention oil in the ingredients…but not when describing the recipe….could you please confirm?
Thanks 🙂
Hi Ann, adding the oil is in step 5 of the instructions. Hope you enjoy the recipe
I was wondering since I’m not a coffee person, would I need to add the coffee?
By add means Fancine, leave the coffee out. The recipe will still taste great.
If I cut the sugar to 1 1/2 cups will they still taste the same?
hi Jennie, most times with baking a recipe will not turn out the same changing ingredient measurements, but by all means give it a try and see what happens. Drop me a note if you try.
