Walnut Brownies
These brownies are fudgy, dense, and packed with crunchy walnuts. This recipe has become the one I keep going back to.
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Add Ins:
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment and set aside.
- Combine the butter and 1 cup chocolate chips in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir as it melts and then stir until smooth. Remove from the heat.
- Add the sugar and vanilla and stir to combine. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, stirring until smooth and shiny between each egg. Add the flour and salt. Stir until just incorporated.
- Stir in the walnuts and additional ½ cup chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the parchment-lined pan; bake until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out with wet crumbs, about 45 minutes. (See note below.)
- Cool the brownies in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
If you wait until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, they will be overcooked. You want fudge-like crumbs.
