If you’re a coffee lover and a chocolate lover, then these coffee brownies are the perfect treat for you! These rich, decadent brownies are infused with the flavor of freshly brewed coffee and topped with a sprinkle of coffee grounds and powdered sugar for an extra caffeine kick.

To start, you’ll need brown sugar, granulated sugar, and unsalted butter, along with brewed roasted ground coffee and grounds. The coffee grounds are used both in the brownie batter and as a garnish on top. You’ll also need chocolate morsels, large eggs, pure vanilla, baking cocoa, all-purpose flour, iodized salt and powdered sugar.

First, combine the sugars, butter, brewed coffee and coffee grounds in a pot over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat and add the chocolate morsels. Stir until melted and let cool for 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then add the vanilla and gradually whisk in the cooled chocolate mixture. In a separate large bowl, sift together the baking cocoa, flour and salt. Fold this mixture into the chocolate mixture in batches, then fold in the remaining chocolate morsels.

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the brownies cool to the touch before sprinkling the remaining coffee grounds and powdered sugar on top.

These coffee brownies are the perfect balance of rich, chocolatey goodness and a bold coffee flavor. They’re a great treat to enjoy with a cup of coffee or to share with friends and family. The coffee grounds on top add an extra bit of texture and flavor, making these brownies a real standout. So why not try baking up a batch of these coffee brownies for your next dessert or coffee break? You won’t be disappointed!
