Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper.
In a small microwaveable bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Mix in the espresso.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, hazelnut extract, vanilla extract and salt together until smooth.
Gently add the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
In a separate, medium sized bowl, sift the flour and espresso powder together until evenly combined.
In a couple parts, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring only until just combined. Don’t over mix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few moist crumbs on it.
