Yield: 36 bite-size brownies

Ingredients

  1. Nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray
  2. 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
  3. 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  4. 2 large eggs
  5. 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons espresso powder
  6. 1 (19.8-ounce) box brownie mix (recommended: Duncan Hines)
  7. 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  8. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  9. 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  10. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 brownies are delicious but don’t eat them too close to bedtime
Kevin Beasley
I have made this many times, not changing a thing. Everyone loves these, even those that don’t traditionally like coffee.
Tina Barrett
This is a family favorite and a go-to brownie recipe!
Tracy Ruiz
Recipe calls for a 13 x9 inch pan and then when you watch her video she uses an 8×8 pan which clearly turns out better because of the surface area coverage of the frosting.
Rebecca Hawkins

Mr. Michael Rice
The brownies were good obviously because they were from a box. The icing tasted a lot like powdered sugar with a hint of espresso. Maybe I’ll have to add more espresso next time
