Baking Tips
For the fudgiest brownies, be careful not to overbake - they should still be slightly soft in the center
Use room temperature ingredients for the best incorporation
The coffee enhances the chocolate flavor without adding coffee taste (but can be replaced with non-dairy milk if preferred)
For extra richness, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder
Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting for cleaner slices
For an even fudgier texture, refrigerate brownies for an hour before serving
High-quality cocoa powder makes a significant difference in flavor
Add 1/2 teaspoon of espresso powder for deeper chocolate flavor

8x8 inch baking pan

Instructions

01
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
02
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
03
In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, applesauce, vanilla extract, and coffee until smooth and well combined.
04
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
05
Fold in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips and nuts (if using), reserving 1/4 cup of chocolate chips for topping.
06
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top.
07
Bake for 22-25 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, not completely clean (which would indicate overbaking).
08
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan and onto a cooling rack.
09
Allow to cool completely before cutting into 16 squares. For cleaner cuts, refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing.
10
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
