Greek Coffee Brownies

Brownies are my greatest weakness of all—especially the good old fashioned out of the box stuff. When I’m really craving a chocolatey fix, nothing beats the convenience of just dumping all the premixed ingredients into a bowl, stirring in some extra liquid, and sending them to the oven. They come out simple and scrumptious every single time.

Because I’m satisfied with the boxed brownies, I hardly make them from scratch, or maybe didn’t care to recognize how easy they are to make on your own. But then one day when my brownie craving hit unusually early in the morning as I was making a cup of Greek coffee, I decided to make my own brownies—with Greek coffee. Coffee and chocolate is a classic combo so it just made sense. My recipe blends the grounds of Greek coffee with cocoa powder for a dark and decadent result that’s just as gooey as the boxed brownies I’ve adored for so many years. Now I don’t have to run to the store at random hours because all the ingredients are always in my fridge and pantry—just waiting to be whipped up together for a delicious treat.

Ingredients
  • Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl and allow to cool.
  2. In medium bowl, combine the butter, sugars, and vanilla and whisk until well combined.
  3. Add eggs in one by one until fully incorporated.
  4. Sift together the cocoa powder, Greek coffee, salt, and flour. Gently fold into the wet ingredients with a spatula until combined, being careful not to over mix.
  5. Lightly grease a 8x8 or 9x9 square inch baking pan with parchment paper and grease with a nonstick spray. Pour the batter into the dish and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. For these fudgier brownies, the toothpick will come out a little dirtier. Don't over bake!
  7. Remove from oven and allow to cool before cutting and serving.
Notes
*For a stronger coffee flavor, add an extra tablespoon of Greek coffee.
