Ingredients
  

For the Brownies:
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil For moisture
  • ¾ cup Guinness Stout beer Adds depth and flavor
  • 2 cups granulated sugar Sweetens the brownies
  • ½ teaspoon espresso powder Optional enhances chocolate flavor
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract For flavor
  • ¼ teaspoon salt Balances sweetness
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted Adds richness
  • 2 large eggs Provides structure
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Main structure ingredient
  • ⅔ cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder For deep chocolate flavor
For the Chocolate Topping:
  • 5 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips For the topping
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter To help melt the chocolate
  • 2 tablespoon Guinness Stout beer Infuses the topping with flavor
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar Sweetens the ganache

Method
 

  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.
