Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • Unsalted butter (1 cup (2 sticks), melted)
  • Granulated sugar (2 cups)
  • Eggs (4 large)
  • Vanilla extract (2 teaspoons)
  • All-purpose flour (1 cup)
  • Cocoa powder (1 cup)
  • Baking powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Chopped walnuts (1 cup)
  • Chocolate sauce (optional) (1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter until completely liquid. Allow it to cool slightly.
  3. Stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the melted butter until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a fudgy texture.
  6. Fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  9. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares.
  10. For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving or top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
