This gooey, fudgy brownie recipe makes indulgent, delicious treats that are ready in no time. It’s the perfect treat for when you have a craving but doesn’t have much time on your hands. Here are the steps for making this decadent treat:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with butter or nonstick spray.

Why: Setting your oven to the right temperature helps you create consistent, delicious results every time. Greasing the baking pan prevents the brownies from sticking, ensuring that they come out in perfect slices.

2. Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, add the butter, and heat it in the microwave in 20-second intervals. Stir to blend before heating it again.

Why: Heating the chocolate and butter allows the two to blend into one, creating a creamy, gooey texture. Making sure to stir between intervals prevents the mixture from burning and allows it to melt evenly.

3. Add the cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, and sugar and whisk until combined.

Why: The cocoa powder and combination of chocolate, butter and sugar derive a rich chocolatey flavor that is allowed to spread throughout the mixture. The coffee granules enhance the chocolatey flavor and also creates a smooth, fudgy texture for the brownies.

4. Add the eggs one at a time and whisk just until combined.

Why: Adding the eggs one at a time allows the mixture to be amalgamated together, holding all the ingredients. The eggs also act to bind the other ingredients together in order to create the perfect batch of brownies.

5. Sift the flour and salt over the mixture and fold with a spatula until mixed.

Why: Folding the ingredients together helps to create a consistent texture throughout the mixture, and sifted flour ensures that you don’t end up with clumps in your brownies.

6. Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for about 20 minutes.
   The inserted into the center toothpick should come out with small crumbs.

Why: Baking your brownies at the right temperature and for the right amount of time helps you get the appropriate texture and consistency. You’ll know that your brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center of them comes out with a few moist crumbs.

7. Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely before cutting into them and serving.

Why: Allowing the brownies to cool before cutting prevents them from crumbling or breaking into pieces. As they cool, they will also continue to bake, creating a fudgy and gooey texture.
