I have been on the hunt for some new favorite brownie recipes and I think I have found one! I love homemade brownies with a fudgy center and crispy edges and these were perfect!
These chocolate espresso brownies come out of the oven with a perfect crackly top, a subtle coffee flavor taken over the top with a sweet espresso glaze.
Adding espresso to brownies doesn’t necessarily give them a strong coffee flavor, but it does enhance the chocolate and make them extra rich and delicious. I added the espresso glaze to bring the mocha flavor up a notch!
Start by browning your butter. You can do this in a small saucepan or even in the microwave with a really snug fitting lid on your bowl. (I have used a pyrex bowl with a plate on top before.)
Add the dark chocolate chips to the brown butter and stir until melted.
In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and brown sugar until light and creamy. Slowly pour in melted chocolate mixture and stir until smooth.
Pour the brownie batter into a prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes depending on your oven. I always check at the 20 minute mark and then go from there.
