One Bowl Mocha Brownies Recipes

ONE-BOWL MOCHA BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (176ºC). Butter an 8-by-8-inch glass baking dish.
• In a large microwavable bowl, combine the chopped semisweet chocolate, butter, and 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. (Alternately, you can melt the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over but not touching simmering water.) Whisk together the melted butter and chocolate.
• Whisk in the sugar, vanilla, flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Let cool for a minute or so and then whisk in the eggs and instant coffee or espresso granules. Whisk until the batter is smooth, about 1 minute. Fold in the remaining 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate. Scrape the batter into the baking dish.
• Bake the brownies for 22 to 25 minutes. You can try to check the brownies for doneness by inserting a tester or toothpick in the center. Although since there are chunks of chocolate in the brownies, you can't really be certain with the toothpick method as the toothpick may come out covered with gooey chocolate, so check the brownies for doneness in several places.☞TESTER TIP: If you like your brownies less gooey, you may need to leave them in the oven a touch longer.
• Let the brownies cool slightly in the pan on a wire rack before cutting and serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9-inch pan with baking spray with flour.
• In large microwaveable bowl, microwave shortening and butter uncovered on Medium (50%) 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring once, until shortening and butter are melted. Stir 2 cups granulated sugar and cocoa into butter mixture, until sugar is dissolved.
• In small bowl mix 4 teaspoons instant coffee granules and hot water until coffee granules are dissolved; stir into cocoa mixture. Stir in vanilla and eggs one at a time until well blended. Stir in flour and salt, until smooth. Spread batter evenly in pan.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In small microwaveable bowl, microwave milk on High 20 to 30 seconds until very warm. Stir in 2 teaspoons coffee granules until dissolved. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
• In medium bowl, mix remaining frosting ingredients with electric mixer on low speed until combined; increase speed to medium and blend until light and fluffy. Beat in cooled coffee. Spread frosting over the cooled brownies. For brownies, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.

MOCHA BROWNIES

Steps:

• I dump the dry mix into a large mixing bowl and add the two tsps of instant espresso to the dry mix.
• In a measuring cup I put the 1/3 cup oil and 1/3 cup water, then add the vanilla and coffee flavoring, makes it easier for me.
• Add the egg to the dry mix and then all the rest of the wet ingredients.
• Stir by hand, as directed on the box, about 50 strokes - or until there aren't any ( or many) dry lumps.
• Scrape the bowl into a prepared baking pan. The box calls for a 13 x 9 pan, but I spray the bottom of an 8x8 square pan with cooking spray and use that.
• The package calls for a much longer baking time than I find necessary. I use my Cuisinart Toaster/ Oven/ Broiler and it takes 35 minutes at 350 degrees for it to be perfect.
