Description
Deliciously fudgy brownies that are easy to make and sure to please any chocolate lover.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips or chopped semi-sweet or dark chocolate bar)
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups walnuts (chopped, save some for tops of brownies)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9-inch square baking pan lined with parchment paper for easy removal with non-stick cooking spray.
- Decide if you want stovetop or microwave method, then move on to step 3.
- Stovetop Method: In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate chips and butter over low heat. Then, let it cool slightly.
- Microwave Method: Melt chocolate chips and butter in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments stirring every 30 seconds until melted and let cool slightly.
- Add sugar and vanilla to the mixture. Once it cools down, add eggs and mix it in.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and whisk or stir together until combined well.
- Add walnuts to the brownie batter and spread mixture evenly in your prepared pan.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely before cutting into squares. Depending on how fudgy you want the brownies, check at 25 minutes.
- Keep in mind that brownies will continue baking once they are pulled from the oven, so do not overbake.
Notes
- For a more fudgy texture, check the brownies at 25 minutes and take them out when they still appear slightly underbaked.
- Storing: Keep brownies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
