Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/3 cup Guinness Stout beer
  • 2 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, melted and cooled
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Ganache

  • 10 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 4 tbsp Guinness Stout beer
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the brownies.
  2. Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×9 square baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving handles on two opposite sides to easily lift the brownies out after baking.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the vegetable oil, Guinness Stout beer, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Add Melted Butter: Pour in the melted and cooled salted butter and mix thoroughly to blend.
  5. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  6. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder.
  7. Mix Dry & Wet: Gradually add the dry flour and cocoa mixture into the wet ingredients, folding together until just combined to form the brownie batter.
  8. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out smoothly.
  9. Bake Brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  10. Make Ganache: Place semi-sweet chocolate chips, salted butter, and Guinness Stout beer into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then continue microwaving in 30-second intervals stirring between until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  11. Add Powdered Sugar to Ganache: Add the powdered sugar to the melted ganache and whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  12. Apply Ganache: Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies and spread into an even layer.
  13. Chill and Set: Place the ganache-covered brownies in the refrigerator to chill until the ganache is firmly set.
  14. Serve: Remove brownies from the pan using the parchment paper handles, cut into 12 even bars, and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the melted butter is cooled before mixing with eggs to prevent cooking them prematurely.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to keep the brownies tender.
  • Use a toothpick to check doneness; a few moist crumbs indicate perfect fudginess.
  • Microwaving the ganache in intervals and stirring ensures smooth, lump-free chocolate.
  • Chilling the ganache helps it to set properly and enhances the texture and flavor.
