Ingredients
Guinness Brownies
- 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup Guinness Stout beer
- 2 cups (414g) sugar
- ½ tsp espresso powder, optional
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (130g) all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup (76g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
Chocolate Topping
- 5 oz (2/3 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Guinness Stout beer
- 1/4 cup (29g) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×9 square baking pan and line it with parchment paper that sticks up over the sides. You can use the parchment paper later to help remove the brownies from the pan.
- Add the oil, Guinness, sugar, espresso powder, vanilla extract and salt to large mixing bowl and whisk together until well combined.
- Add the melted butter and whisk together until well combined.
- Add the eggs and whisk together until well combined.
- Add the flour and cocoa powder and whisk together gently just until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist, sticky crumbs. Allow to cool in the pan.
- To make the chocolate topping, place the chocolate chips, butter and Guinness in a microwave safe bowl and microwave until the Guinness gets hot and butter starts to melt, about 30 seconds or so. Whisk together until smooth. You can microwave it for a little longer, if needed.
- Add the powdered sugar and whisk until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the brownies and spread into an even layer.
- Allow to cool completely, then use the parchment paper to remove them from the pan. Cut into bars.
- Store brownies in an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days, then should be refrigerated because of the topping. Best if eaten within 4-5 days.
