All you'll need are the grounds left over from brewing espresso, which are typically compacted into a disc like this.

Start by breaking the grounds up with your hands over a baking sheet. Use as much or as little as you'd like.

Then, spread them out into a thin, even layer.

Bake at 175ºF until dry and slightly crunchy. (The time this takes will vary based on the amount of grounds used.)

Finally, grind into a fine powder before using! The finer it is, the more smoothly it will blend into your baked goods.
