Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add dry ingredients: Sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder to avoid lumps. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
- Incorporate chocolate chips and walnuts: Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and the chopped walnuts evenly throughout the batter, ensuring every bite has a delightful crunch.
- Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached for a fudgy texture.
- Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into 16 squares. This cooling step helps achieve clean cuts and enhances the fudgy consistency.
Notes
- For extra gooey brownies, remove them from the oven at the 30-minute mark.
- Store brownies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- For longer storage, freeze brownies wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to 3 months.
