Description

Indulge in these rich, moist brownies with a perfect balance of cakey and fudgy texture, topped with a smooth Guinness-infused ganache.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup Guinness Stout beer
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp espresso powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 5 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp Guinness Stout beer
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, Guinness, sugar, espresso powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Add the melted butter and whisk until well combined.
  4. Whisk in the eggs until smooth and combined.
  5. Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, then whisk gently until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool in the pan.
  8. For the chocolate topping, place the chocolate chips, butter, and Guinness in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then whisk until smooth.
  9. Add powdered sugar to the ganache and whisk until smooth and combined.
  10. Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies and spread into an even layer.
  11. Allow the brownies to cool completely, then use the parchment paper to lift them from the pan. Cut into bars.
