Ingredients

• Salted Butter(melted) - Salted butter adds a subtle salty flavor that pairs well with the sweet toffee bits.
• Granulated Sugar
• Light Brown Sugar(packed)
• Large Eggs(room temperature)
• Oil- Use a neutral-flavored oil like avocado, canola, or vegetable oil. Coconut oil works, too.
• Pure Vanilla Extract
• All-Purpose Flour- The high fat-to-flour ratio keeps these moist.
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder- Cocoa powder provides chocolate flavor to the batter without needing additional chocolate.
• Instant Espresso Powder(optional, not pictured) - I almost always add instant espresso (or coffee) to my brownie batter. The coffee taste elevates the flavor of chocolate.
