Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
Add the cocoa powder to the butter-sugar mixture and mix thoroughly until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the saucepan and stir until just combined and the batter is smooth.
In a small bowl, lightly whisk the eggs and vanilla extract together, then add to the saucepan and stir until fully incorporated.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.
