Fudgie Brownies

We are team fudgie, center cut brownies at our house. While our favorite recipe of all time is Ina Garten's Outrageous Brownies, these are a lot less work and slay those weeknight chocolate cravings. 
We swapped half the sugar for Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener - 1:1 White Sugar Substitute, Zero Calorie, Keto Diet Friendly, Zero Net Carbs, Zero Glycemic, Baking, Extract, Sugar Replacement (Classic White - 1 Pound) to save on a few calories and cut a bit of the sugar out. (It's January so we are trying to be a little healthier with our diet.) This post may contain affiliate links. See full disclosure statement here.

Makes 16 brownies

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, melted

1 cup white sugar

1 c monk fruit sweetener (or use white sugar if you prefer)

2 eggs

1 tbs vanilla extract

2 tsp espresso powder

2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 C chocolate chips 

Preheat oven to 350. Line a 13x9 pan with parchment paper. 

In a large bowl, stir together melted butter and sugar until combined. Add in eggs, vanilla and espresso powder. Next mix in flour and cocoa powder. When almost combined add chocolate chips. You could add in some nuts here as well. Whatever your chocolate loving heart desires. 💕

Spread mixture into prepared pan and bake 25-30 minutes. 


Let cool 10 minutes, or more if you can control yourself. Use parchment paper to remove from pan and cut into rectangles.
