Ingredients
- 115g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
- 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
- 95g (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour
- 60g (1/2 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3g (1/2 tsp) salt
- 100g (1 cup) walnuts, chopped
- 113g (4 oz) dark chocolate, melted and cooled
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan and line it with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2: Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter and cooled dark chocolate together until smooth using a microwave or double boiler. Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Stir in the granulated sugar until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 3: Add Walnuts
Gently fold the chopped walnuts into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
Step 4: Bake the Brownies
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Using the parchment overhang, lift the brownies from the pan and let them continue cooling on the rack before slicing.
