    Ingredients needed

    Aldi ingredients for one bowl brownies

    • Cocoa powder
    • Butter
    • Eggs
    • Plain flour
    • Caster sugar
    • Vanilla extract
    • Instant coffee powder
    • Chocolate chips- milk, white and dark

    Step by step directions

    mixing eggs and sugar and sifting in cocoa powder for brownies

    Step 1 & 2

    • Start by melting the butter in the microwave. Make sure that it's not too hot. Add in the caster sugar, vanilla and eggs and stir well.
    • Sift in the cocoa powder and flour, then add in the coffee powder. No need to dissolve it in water. Mix everything up, but don't overmix.

    Adding in the chocolate chips for making brownies

    Step 3 & 4

    • Add in all the chocolate chips and stir well. It will seem like there are more chocolate chips than batter, but trust. It all comes together beautifully. You can use all one type of chocolate chip if you prefer all milk or all dark. Either way, we're going for an aggressive amount of chocolate.
    • Once the chocolate chips have just been stirred in, spread the batter into your lined brownie pan. This square tin is the one I use for all of my brownie and bar recipes. The absolute best pan ever and it's cheap!

    Brownie top tips

    A few key tips to soft fudgy brownies:

    1. Don't overmix the batter once you add in the flour. When mixing in the chocolate chips a couple of gentle stirs will do.
    2. Best to under bake these brownies ever so slightly. They keep cooking as they cool in the hot tin. This recipe timing takes that into account.
    3. Wait until the brownies have cooled before removing from the tin and use a sharp knife to slice them.

    Variations

    Please feel free to make this recipe your own. Here are a few variations that you may love:

    • walnuts or pecans
    • all one type of chocolate -ie all milk or all white. You are more than welcome to go all dark but be warned, these brownies will be VERY rich with all dark. Not necessarily a bad thing.
    • coffee- feel free to use some different flavoured coffee powders in this recipe. I found this instant caramel coffee in the Aldi Special Buys aisle and it brings so much flavour. Try vanilla, or maybe right now they have hazelnut and cookie dough. If you try one of these let me know!

    Storage

    These brownies are so thick and fudgy which means they store like a dream. They keep really well at room temperature, provided they are in an airtight container. They'll also keep well in the fridge, however, they will firm up a lot in the fridge making them almost like a giant slab of fudge. If you are worried about eating the whole pan in a single day, then slice them up and pop them in the freezer for up to 6 months.

    Ingredients

    • 100 g butter melted
    • 150 g caster sugar
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla
    • 2 eggs
    • 75 g cocoa powder
    • 80 g plain flour
    • 2 tablespoons instant coffee powder
    • 3 packs of chocolate chips white, dark, milk
    Metric - US Customary

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 160ºC fan. 
    • In a medium mixing bowl melt the butter in the microwave. Add in the eggs, vanilla and caster sugar. Mix well. 
    • Sift in the flour and cocoa powder. Using a large spoon gently combine the flour, cocoa powder and coffee powder into the egg mixture until just combined. Be careful to not over mix.
    • Pour in the chocolate chips and stir once or twice to mix the chocolate chips throughout the batter. Spread the brownie mix evenly into the tin and bake for about 18 minutes, until the top of the brownie is set and the inside is still slightly fudgy. Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before using a sharp knife to cut into 16 squares.

    Notes

    1. Don't over mix the batter once you add in the flour. When mixing in the chocolate chips a couple of gentle stirs will do.
    2. Best to under bake these brownies ever so slightly. They keep cooking as they cool in the hot tin. This recipe timing takes that into account.
    3. Wait until the brownies have cooled before removing from the tin and use a sharp knife to slice them.

      I’m looking forward to trying this recipe but when and how do you add the coffee powder? I can’t see that in the instructions.

        Sorry about that, Louise! The coffee powder goes in with the flour and cocoa powder. The recipe has been amended, so if you decide to print it, it will be correct. Thanks for catching that. Would love to hear how you get on!
