Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 100 grams chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
Melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave in 15-second intervals. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the melted chocolate and butter mixture, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Step 6
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 7
Gently fold in the chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy.
Step 10
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Step 11
Slice into 12 equal pieces and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
