Oprah's Favorite Brownies

Looking for a great Brownie recipe?

I have been wanting to make these brownies for a very long time.  However, I understand how dangerous a big plate of brownies can be in my house--and I didn’t want to put myself in danger.  But, the other day, I needed to bake something and I just so happened to have almost all of the ingredients.  Well, almost.  I had everything to half the recipe and make a smaller pan of  brownies.

I can handle a half pan of brownies.

If you have willpower, you should go ahead and make the full pan.

These come from the Baked Restaurant in NYC, and the recipe was modified a bit from the original.

I used the Brown Eyed Bakers adaptation of the recipe and had to modify it slightly to make half a batch.

And, um.....so yum!

Ingredients

• ▢ ⅝ cup of flour
• ▢ 1 teaspoon salt
• ▢ 1 T cocoa
• ▢ 7 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
• ▢ ½ cup butter cubed
• ▢ ½ teaspoon coffee powder; I used [Starbucks VIA]
• ▢ ¾ cup sugar
• ▢ ¼ brown sugar
• ▢ 3 eggs
• ▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

• ) Preheat over to 350 degrees. Prepare an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for ease of removal.
• ) Mix together flour, cocoa, and salt. Set aside.
• ) Using a double boiler, melt chocolate, butter and coffee powder together. Keep your eye on this and once melted, allow it to cool.
• ) Once cooled to room temperature, whisk the eggs in. The mixture will be pretty thick.
• ) Stir in the vanilla.
• ) Sprinkle the flour mixture over the top and then fold everything together. Do not over mix. Don't use a mixer here---a spatula should be just fine.
• ) Pour into baking pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
• ) Let cool a bit in the pan and then remove from the pan using the parchment paper handles.
• Enjoy in moderation!
