Ingredients

1 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
4 Squares Semisweet chocolate
3/4 cup Margarine (or butter)
1 tablespoon Instant coffee granules
1 cup Granulated sugar
4 large Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350ÃÂ°F (175ÃÂ°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the margarine and semisweet chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler.
4
Stir the instant coffee granules into the melted chocolate mixture until fully dissolved.
5
Add the granulated sugar to the chocolate mixture and stir well. Allow to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
6
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
7
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
8
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
9
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
10
Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

Note

For best results, use high-quality semisweet chocolate to enhance the depth of flavor.

Do not overbake; this will result in dry brownies. The center should still be slightly soft when removed from the oven.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

For a vegan version, substitute the margarine with a vegan butter alternative and use flax eggs or commercial egg replacer instead of eggs. Ensure the chocolate is dairy-free.

Add chopped nuts or white chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor variation.
