This is how you get the shiny crinkly top!
2

Add butter, oil and coffee

Then add the melted butter, oil, and coffee powder. Whisk until well combined.

1 min
Make sure the butter is cooled slightly before adding to avoid cooking the eggs.
3

Fold in dry ingredients

Add the flour, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips and fold gently using a spatula. Do not overmix.

2 min
Overmixing will make brownies cakey instead of fudgy.

Prepare pan and bake

Transfer the brownie batter to a parchment lined 8x8 pan and bake in a 180°C preheated oven for 25-30 mins or until edges are set and center still looks a little soft.
