Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 75 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 100 grams walnuts or pecans (toasted and chopped)
- 75 grams dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, set it aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the melted butter to the sugars and whisk until smooth and glossy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped nuts and dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread 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 (not wet batter).
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies 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. Cut into 12 even squares and serve.
