Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar until well combined and slightly smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder to remove any lumps.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in half of the chocolate chips and half of the chopped walnuts into the batter, distributing evenly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips and chopped walnuts on top of the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, cut into 16 equal squares and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use Quality Chocolate: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality chocolate chips. Dark chocolate will add a deeper richness to your brownies.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can result in dense brownies instead of the desired fudgy texture.
- Check for Doneness: Start checking your brownies at the 25-minute mark. They’re done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
- Cool Completely: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting. This helps them set and makes it easier to achieve clean, even squares.
- Experiment with Add-Ins: Feel free to customize your brownies by adding other mix-ins like caramel swirls, peanut butter, or different nuts for a unique twist.
