Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2:

In the baking pan, melt the butter in the preheating oven. Remove the pan and stir in the sugar directly into the melted butter until combined.

Step 3:

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4:

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder over the wet mixture in the pan. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined.

Step 5:

Fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips if using, ensuring theyre evenly distributed.

Step 6:

Smooth the batter evenly in the pan.

Step 7:

Bake for 2832 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake for fudgy brownies).

Step 8:

Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Recipe FAQs

→ How do I achieve fudgy brownies?

Underbaking slightly ensures a moist and fudgy texture rather than cakey. Keep an eye on the baking time to catch them when a toothpick shows moist crumbs.

→ Can I substitute walnuts?

Pecans or hazelnuts can replace walnuts for a different nutty flavor or omit nuts entirely for a nut-free option.

→ Is it necessary to line the pan?

Lining with parchment paper helps remove the brownies easily and keeps the pan clean for simple cleanup.

→ What’s the best way to mix ingredients?

After melting butter and stirring in sugar, add eggs one at a time with vanilla. Gently fold dry ingredients and nuts to maintain texture.

→ How should I store leftover brownies?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days to maintain freshness and moisture.
