Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder dutch processed preferred
- 1 tsp instant coffee
- 2 large eggs room temp
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 6 tbsp all purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly butter and line your muffin tins with a strip of parchment paper (so you can pull the brownies out easily).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter with the sugar and salt. Add the cocoa powder and instant coffee and mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well to combine. Sir in the vanilla and 1.5 tablespoons of water.
- Sprinkle on the baking powder, then the flour and slowly mix until just combined with no flour streaks.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tins. Bake for 11-12 minutes. When done the tops will be puffy and the sides will look set. Under baked is better than over baking for a moist and fudgy center. Let cool in the tins for 5 minutes before removing and cooling on a wire rack.
- To decorate brownies as Soot Sprites, you’ll need some candy eyes. Push the candy eyes into the brownies right after they come out of the oven and are still soft.
