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

- 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
- 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.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, Guinness, sugar, espresso powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the melted butter and whisk until well combined.
- Whisk in the eggs until smooth and combined.
- Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, then whisk gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- 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.
- For the chocolate topping, place the chocolate chips, butter, and Guinness in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then whisk until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar to the ganache and whisk until smooth and combined.
- Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies and spread into an even layer.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely, then use the parchment paper to lift them from the pan. Cut into bars.
