Fudge Brownies

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup butter

  (melted, cooled - 2 sticks or 16 tablespoons)
• 2 tablespoon coconut oil

  (or preferred cooking oil)
• 1 ¼ cups sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar

  (packed)
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs

  (at room temperature)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon strong brewed coffee

  (optional)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.55 oz chocolate bar

  (optional (milk chocolate or semi-sweet) - grated, up to 2 ounces)

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat or spray a 9x13 baking pan
  with oil or non-stick spray. For easy removal of the brownies, you can also line
  the pan with parchment paper, if desired.
• 2 Combine the melted butter, coconut oil, white sugar, brown sugar, and salt, in a
  large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer. Stir to combine.
• 3 Next, add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and the optional coffee, if using. Stir
  to combine once more.
• 4 Sift the all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder into the wet
  ingredients. Gently fold all of the ingredients together until they are
  well-combined, but be careful not to over-mix the batter!
• 5 If using the optional grated chocolate, gently fold it into the batter until
  evenly dispersed. (You may also use cut pieces of baking chocolate or chocolate
  chunks).
• 6 Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until you can insert a toothpick
  into the center of the brownie without any wet batter sticking to it. *There
  will still be plenty of brownie on the toothpick but that's okay because it will
  continue to set as it cools.
• 7 Remove your fudge brownies from the oven and set them aside to cool in the pan
  for at least 15 minutes before you transfer them to a cooling rack or serving
  them.
