Homemade Espresso Brownies

Homemade Espresso Brownies

Like a chocolate truffle in brownie form, Homemade Espresso Brownies - gluten free + vegan are melt in your mouth and so simple to make. Fudgy or chewy, you decide! See notes for fudgy or cakey brownies. **These brownies hold together better if rested overnight (a practice in patience!)  But, if you just can't wait, put a slice in a bowl with ice cream and fudge sauce and eat with a spoon - it doesn't matter if they hold together!
