Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
- 8 ounces Dark chocolate (roughly chopped)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 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
- 0.75 cup Walnuts (coarsely chopped)
- as needed Cooking spray or butter (for preparing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter, and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and dark chocolate together, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually mix the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar-egg mixture. Stir until well combined.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Be careful not to overbake for fudgy brownies.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper.
Slice into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy your rich and decadent Dark Chocolate Walnut Brownies!
