Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Unsweetened chocolate
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and set aside.
Melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until well blended.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be smooth and thick.
If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts for additional texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake for a fudgy texture).
Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Cut the brownies into 9 even pieces and serve. Enjoy!
