4 ounces dark chocolate (I used 85%, but those make very dark chocolate tasting brownies)
½ cup butter or coconut oil, melted and cooled*
½ cup pure maple syrup (grade B is the best)
3 eggs
½ cup + 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons very strong coffee
2 tablespoons fine coffee grinds
2 slices baked bacon, chopped
(*this recipe didn’t have a ton of bacon flavor – I might try replacing half the fat in this recipe with reserved bacon fat next time to up the bacon flavor)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the melted dark chocolate, butter or oil (or fat), pure maple syrup, and eggs. Slowly sift the cocoa powder over the wet ingredients, whisking it evenly. Add the strong coffee and the coffee grinds and stir until well combined.
Line a 9×9 inch square pan with parchment paper and fill the pan with the brownie batter. Top the batter with the chopped bacon pieces and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean
