Ingredients
  

  • 1 14.5 oz. box of brownie mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil canola oil also works well
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp espresso powder or instant coffee
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1-2 tsp sea salt or flakey salt, for sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper OR spray with non stick cooking spray; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine brownie mix, eggs, oil, heavy cream, espresso powder and vanilla extract. With a wooden spoon (or other large spoon), stir until ingredients are well-combined. No need to over mix.
  • Add chocolate chips and stir until combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared baking dish and smooth with a spatula into an even layer.
  • Bake 30-32 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or almost clean. It's OK to under bake slightly–the brownies will continue to cook when taken out of the oven. Start checking for doneness about 5 minutes sooner than the directions on the package (See Note 2).
  • Sprinkle brownies with sea salt when they come out of the oven. Allow brownies to cool completely. Then, cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

Note 1: DO NOT follow brownie instructions on the back of the box. Follow instructions in this recipe only :)
Note 2: A metal pan conducts heat better than ceramic or glass, so if you are using a metal pan, watch your brownies carefully at around the 26-28 minute mark. They may take a bit less time to bake.
