Main Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee Brewed stronger than usual for baking
- 2 tablespoons oil For warming in the pan
- 1 cup dry ingredients (flour, sugar, etc.) Mixed before adding coffee

- Build layers of flavor by searing protein then deglazing with brewed coffee.
Baking
- Slide your dish into a fully preheated oven.

Serving

Notes
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days, reheated gently to retain flavor.
