Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and semisweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Stir the granulated sugar and maple syrup into the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped toasted walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake for fudgy brownies).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Slice into 12 squares and enjoy!
