Instructions
Layer the ingredients in a 1-quart (32 oz) Mason jar in the following order: all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, chocolate chips, and chopped walnuts (if using). Pack down lightly after each layer to create a clean, even appearance.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, empty the contents of the jar.
3. Add 2 large eggs, 0.5 cup (1 stick) of melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until fully combined.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
6. Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
