Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/3 cups 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 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 to ensure it’s ready for baking the brownies.
  2. Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×9 inch square baking pan and line it with parchment paper, allowing for handles on two opposite sides to help lift the brownies out easily after baking.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine vegetable oil, Guinness Stout beer, white sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing them thoroughly.
  4. Add Butter: Stir in the melted and cooled salted butter until the mixture is well blended.
  5. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition until fully combined.
  6. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour and unsweetened cocoa powder.
  7. Mix Batter: Slowly add the dry flour and cocoa powder mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined without overmixing.
  8. Pour Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly to the edges.
  9. Bake Brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
  10. Prepare Ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips, salted butter, and Guinness Stout beer. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir well, then microwave for another 30 seconds. Repeat in short increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  11. Add Powdered Sugar: Whisk in the powdered sugar into the ganache until smooth and fully combined.
  12. Apply Ganache: Pour the ganache evenly over the cooled brownies and spread it into a smooth layer.
  13. Chill and Set: Place the brownies in the refrigerator to chill until the ganache is set, approximately 1 hour.
  14. Serve: Lift the brownies from the pan using the parchment handles, cut into 12 bars, and serve.

Notes

  • Use a high-quality Guinness Stout beer for the best flavor integration in the brownies and ganache.
  • Do not overbake the brownies; they should remain fudgy and moist inside.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before adding ganache to prevent melting.
  • For easier removal, ensure parchment paper extends beyond the pan edges to create handles.
  • Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Ganache can be reheated gently if it becomes too firm before serving.
