Cappuccino Brownies

Jump to Recipe

Exactly 1 month from today, on August 25th, I'm getting hitched. You guys, it feels like yesterday when I got engaged. Where on earth have these last 10 months gone? There is still so much to be done! All the little DIY projects. Homemade favors. Handmade ceramic salt and pepper cellars. Fun rustic wood accents. Picking out our wedding bands. And figuring out how the heck I'm going to do my hair for the big day.

Cappuccino Brownies : What's Gaby Cooking

I'm thinking of wearing it down, because it's not super long and I can't have a crazy messy pretty bun like I want. But I don't really know. How did you ladies wear your hair on your big day? And for the guys out there, what do you prefer? Hair up or hair down? Is one style sexier? Or more classic? These are very important questions that just need to be addressed. I mean, I'm curious! I also am curious how many people actually drink coffee at the end of a wedding. I'd rather eat a Cappuccino Brownie or eat a tiramisu.

All these questions and things mean 1 big thing. I need lots and lots of energy. And that energy comes in the form of a super dense and chewy brownie. With espresso. And milk. So basically its a Cappuccino Brownie. And I may or may not have had these for breakfast the last 2 days. It gives me a little pep to my step. And it's just that extra kick you need! Plus, we all know that espresso or coffee really makes those chocolate flavors jump out at ya! And who doesn't love a good brownie!

So the Cappuccino Brownies were born.

And you should make them. And then share them with your friends. And trust me, they will thank you. Especially if they like Cappuccinos. Or chocolate. Or super chocolaty dense gooey brownies. So basically, you can't go wrong.

So here ya go... the Cappuccino Brownies!

  1. Cappuccino & Brownies - this is the best combination. Why did I not think of that. Will try this tomorrow. Wish me luck. Thanks for the post - cant wait...

  2. I cooked these brownies two days ago - the first brownies I've ever made, and they were a total success!!! Two days later they still taste great. I love them because they don't have walnuts and the coffee brings a great taste.

    My friends and family have asked me to translate the recipe (we're Spanish) and they can't wait to cook them.

    Thanks for sharing this delicious and easy recipe.

  3. These look so good and brownies and cappuccino just happen to be two of my most favorite things!! Looking forward to trying this recipe out, thanks for posting!

  4. A few of these cappuccino brownies at breakfast time and I'd be running all day!
    Few days away from your wedding day! Congratulations! If you haven't decided yet, I think leaving your hair down looks better.

  5. When I got married, I actually ended up wearing my hair in a low bun, with a flower. As someone who is always messing with her hair, I appreciated having it out of my face all night. And these brownies? I'm totally craving one right now!
