Delicious, decadent, and rich – just a few words I’d use to describe this Easy Fudgy Coffee Brownies Recipe.

mmmm fudgy coffee brownies.

Regular brownies were just one of the many foods that I told myself as a child that one day I would eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner – ya know, once I moved out from my parent’s house.

Of course, I grew up and realized that brownies 3 times a day was not a feasible or healthy plan. So, instead, I make brownies here and there for special occasions, or to surprise my husband after he’s been away on a trip.

This past weekend, Jer was away with his friends on their annual camping trip and I thought it would be fun to make some brownies with a twist – and no, not the THC kind of twist – a coffee twist.

If there’s anything my husband loves, it’s sweets with coffee or espresso flavors. And, the idea of a fudgy coffee brownies recipe just made sense to me.

Ingredients

Brownies Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup butter (melted)
2 cups white sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp instant coffee

Icing Ingredients

1 1⁄2 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

Brownies Directions:

First, prehea yourt oven to 350 degrees.
Next, you'll want to grease a 9x9 inch square pan. Grease well with butter or margarine.
In a large bowl, mix butter, eggs, vanilla, cocoa, flour, salt, baking powder, and instant coffee. Mix until smooth. (I recommend using a hand mixer to ensure you get all the clumps)
Place brownie pan into the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, remove from the oven and allow brownies to rest for 5-10 mins. One cooled, apply the icing.

Icing Directions:

Mix powdered sugar, milk, butter, cocoa, and vanilla together in a bowl. **sometimes I add a bit more milk to make the icing thinner over the brownies. I don’t always like super thick/heavy icing.

Once brownies have cooled, spread on the icing. Then cut into squares.
