Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°Fahrenheit and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Make sure the paper is overhanging so you can easily lift the brownies out later.
Melt the butter in the microwave or in a small pan on the stove. Pour the melted butter into a medium bowl.
Add in the light brown sugar and white sugar and whisk together. Whisk until it becomes very thick and paste like - this will give you a crinkly top!
Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
Pour the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, salt and flour into the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined. Don’t overcombine as that will give you dry brownies!
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. If you insert a toothpick in the center it should come out with a few wet crumbs. Let them cool completely before slicing!

Notes

Measuring Flour and Cocoa Powder: Properly measure your flour and cocoa powder using either a kitchen scale or the scoop and level method.

Baking Time: This will vary depending on your oven, as well as your pan.

If using a glass baking dish instead of aluminium, the brownies will take longer to bake, and 9x5 loaf pans will bake slightly quicker than 8x4.

Storage Instructions: Store un-sliced in the pan, covered tightly with tinfoil 3-4 days. Store sliced brownies at room temperature in an airtight container.
