Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup brewed espresso
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped almonds and brewed espresso until evenly distributed.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- For the espresso swirl, take a tablespoon of brewed espresso and drizzle it over the top of the brownie batter; use a knife to gently swirl it through the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
Tip: For added richness, serve these brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
For a gluten-free option, substitute regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free blend. If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the sugar slightly, but keep the moist texture by balancing with the butter.
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for a few seconds until warm.
