Fudgy Mocha-Toffee Brownies

November 3, 2008 by Monica Nelson 19 Comments

With a tittle like this, do I really have to do any convincing…I mean seriously! 😉 What I love about brownies is they are actually very simple to make and pretty hard to mess up.

I love how these turn out. They are similar to a cookie bar that are rich and gooey.  Yes these are a “Lightened-Up Treats” version; less butter, less sugar, therefore less fat and calories.  I have made this with only “white” flour and also I have made this half white flour and half whole-wheat pastry flour.  They both turn out super.  I am a sucker for coffee and chocolate together and with the small toffee bits I add, this is truly a great brownie.

Check out my Cocoa Brownies , Vegan Brownies (inspired form Happy Herbivore), and all my Brownies while we are at it! Enjoy~


Makes 20

2 tbs instant coffee granules
1/4 cup hot water
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, you can use half whole-wheat pastry flour here
1 1/3 cups sugar or sugar sub
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/4 to 1/2 cup toffee chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.

2. Coat bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.

3. Combine coffee granules and 1/4 cup hot cup water, stirring until the coffee granules dissolve.

4. Combine butter ad semisweet chocolate chips in a small bowl and microwave on high for 30 secs to 1 min; stir until chocolate is smooth.

5. Combine flour, sugar, unsweetened cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Combine coffee mixture, butter mixture, vanilla extract, and eggs in a med bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add coffee mixture to flour mixture, stir just until combined. Spread evenly into prepared pan. Sprinkle evenly with toffee chips. Bake for about 20-24 mins. Cool on wire rack.

    Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? With thanks

    Here are my personal strategies for everything. First eat once a day, or work towards one high nutritious diet and meal plan. Meditate daily, this will help preserve the telemores.
