G's Flog

Recipes frequently have espresso powder listed as an optional ingredient, but I’ve never managed to find any until last Friday when Bri and I meandered up and down the aisles of the new expanded Whole Foods at Fresh Pond. I excitedly grabbed some and tried it out on Giada De Laurentiis’ Espresso brownie recipe. They’re great, a perfect chocolate- coffee-middle-of-the-afternoon-pick-me-up. Very easy to made. The coffee is very strong, so reduce the amount, if you want. I used a 8 X 8 pan for thicker brownies.
