Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Light brown sugar
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 0.75 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the light brown sugar until fully combined. Allow to cool slightly.
Transfer the butter-sugar mixture to a mixing bowl. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chocolate chunks and chopped nuts (if using).
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares or rectangles and serve.
