FUDGY WALNUT BROWNIES 🍫🌰
Ingredients
- 170 g (¾ cup) unsalted butter
- 180 g dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
- 80 g (⅓ cup packed) brown sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- 100 g (¾ cup + 1 tbsp) all-purpose flour
- 35 g (⅓ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 120 g (1 cup) walnuts, roughly chopped
- 80 g (½ cup) chocolate chips or chunks, optional
- Extra walnut halves for topping
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Lightly toast the walnuts at 175°C (350°F) for 5–7 minutes. Allow them to cool.
3. Melt the butter and chopped chocolate together over low heat or in short microwave intervals. Stir until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly.
4. In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar and eggs vigorously for 2–3 minutes until slightly thick, pale and foamy. Add the vanilla and mix.
5. Slowly whisk the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
6. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Fold gently until almost combined.
7. Add the toasted chopped walnuts and chocolate chips. Fold gently until evenly distributed.
8. Pour the thick batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
9. Arrange extra walnut pieces over the top.
10. Bake for 28–32 minutes. The edges should be set, the top should have a thin crackly crust, and the center should remain soft and fudgy.
11. Insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out with moist fudgy crumbs, not completely clean.
12. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
13. For very clean slices, chill for 20–30 minutes before cutting.
Enjoy your fudgy walnut brownies! 🍫🌰❤️
