Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing just until combined. Ensure there are no dry streaks, but avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
