Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and unsweetened chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Stir in the sugar, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually fold this mixture into the chocolate batter, mixing just until combined.
If desired, gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into 12 squares. Enjoy!
