Description
Easy recipe for walnut brownies with a rich chocolate taste and a fudge texture (for a 8 inches/ 20 cm square pan - 16 portions)
Ingredients
- 250 g (8,8 oz - 1 1/2 cups) Chocolate chips - semi-sweet or bittersweet
- 115 g (1 stick) Butter - unsalted
- 4 Eggs - room temperature
- 200 g (1 cup)Sugar - granulated
- 150 g (2/3 cup) Brown Sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 90 g (3/4 cup) Flour - all-purpose
- 30 g (1/4 cup) Cocoa powder - unsweetened
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 100 g (3/4 cup) Walnut - chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C and line the bottom of an 8 inches / 20 cm square brownie pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate cut into pieces with the butter in a double boiler or microwave until the mixture is melted without any lumps, then let it cool down a little.
- In another large bowl, place eggs, white granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract and beat with an electric whisk on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture is voluminous and glossy.
- Stir in the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture with the electric mixer until well blended.
- Finish by adding the remaining dry ingredients, flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and crushed nuts.
- Mix with a rubber spatula until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared brownie pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle some chopped walnut on top of the brownies and bake for 30-35 minutes until it has a shiny crust but the center is still soft. (Check for baking by plunging a toothpick into the center, it should come out with crumbs and not liquid batter, otherwise extend the baking time by 5 minutes).
- Let the walnut brownies cool completely in the pan before removing it from the pan and cutting it into 16 pieces with a large knife.
