Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, sifted
- ¾ cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder, Dutch-processed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 6 ounces (170g) dark chocolate, chopped and melted (70% cocoa recommended)
- ½ cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (120g) walnuts, roughly chopped and lightly toasted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Melt the butter in a microwave or over a double boiler until smooth. Let it cool slightly so it’s warm, not hot.
- In a large bowl, combine sugar and melted butter. Whisk together until glossy and well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then stir in vanilla extract. The batter will look shiny and thick.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, folding gently until just combined—do not overmix.
- Stir in the melted dark chocolate until the batter is rich and velvety.
- Fold in the toasted walnuts gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the surface.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center will still look slightly underbaked. Test by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached, never dry.
- Let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack to firm up. Optionally chill in the fridge for 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to avoid cakey brownies. Toast walnuts for enhanced flavor and crunch. Pull brownies out when center is slightly underbaked for perfect gooey texture. Let brownies cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
