1 Video | Photo: Espresso Brownies Recipe
Ingredients
- Nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons espresso powder
- 1 (19.8-ounce) box brownie mix (recommended: Duncan Hines)
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Whisk 1/3 cup of water, oil, eggs, and 2 tablespoons espresso powder in a large bowl to blend. Add the brownie mix. Stir until well blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 35 minutes. Cool completely.
Meanwhile, dissolve the remaining 2 teaspoons of espresso powder in the remaining 2 tablespoons of water in a medium bowl. Whisk in the vanilla. Add the powdered sugar and butter and whisk until smooth. Pour the glaze over the brownies. Refrigerate until the glaze is set. Cut into bite-size pieces. Arrange the brownies on a platter and serve.

These taste awesome! I used instant espresso powder and the espresso flavor in the brownies is very subtle however the espresso flavor in the glaze is much more pronounced which makes for a real nice overall mocha flavor. I used a 12x8 inch brownie pan and 1 batch of the glaze was not enough to cover it all so I made another batch and had some left over so next time I would make the glaze times one and a half. I tweaked the glaze a bit to my liking by replacing 1/2 of the water in the glaze with dark rum (the subtle rum flavor with the espresso is truly special and used a little less sugar.

We enjoyed these, but did not love them. If you're looking for an alternative to your basic brownie mix, these will do the trick.
