If you’re a fan of chocolatey goodness and enjoy a little nutty twist, our Homemade Almond Coffee Brownie Bites are your perfect treat. These fudgy brownies are pure indulgence, combining rich dark chocolate, aromatic coffee, and a hint of almond flavour. They’re a delightful combination of flavours and textures, crunchy on top and irresistibly soft in the centre. So, preheat your oven to 350 degrees, grab your 9-inch square pan, and let’s dive into this heavenly recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of softened butter
- 3 eggs
- A pinch of salt
- 2/3 cup of white sugar (or brown sugar)
- 4 oz. of melted dark or unsweetened chocolate (or 2/3 cup of melted chocolate chips)
- 3 tablespoons of strong brewed coffee
- 1 tablespoon of rum
- 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp of almond extract*
- 1 cup of almond flour
Method:
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9-inch square pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, eggs, a pinch of salt, and your choice of white or brown sugar. You can use an immersion blender for this step, ensuring a smooth and creamy mixture.
- Now, add in the melted dark or unsweetened chocolate (or melted chocolate chips), brewed coffee, rum, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Blend these ingredients until they’re well incorporated, forming a luscious, chocolatey batter.
- Stir in the almond flour until it’s evenly mixed into the batter. This will add a delightful nutty flavour and a slightly grainy texture.
- Pour the brownie batter into your prepared square pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake the brownies for 16-22 minutes. You’re aiming for a beautiful contrast – a crunchy top and a soft, fudgy center. When a knife inserted comes out clean, it’s ready. If the cake puffs up during baking, don’t worry; it will settle as it cools.
- Allow the pan to cool completely before cutting the brownies into 1 or 1 1/2-inch squares. They might be delicate, so gently ease them out with a fork, but they should hold together perfectly.
TIP: These brownies may have a slight almond extract aftertaste, but don’t be concerned. It fades after a couple of days, and the flavour matures beautifully. So, consider making these brownies in advance for the best taste.
