Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1¾ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Add the vanilla extract, then incorporate the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each to ensure a smooth batter.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour and salt just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as that can make the brownies tough.
- Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts evenly into the batter.
- Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 16 squares and serving.
Notes
- For extra gooey brownies, remove them from the oven at the 30-minute mark.
- Store brownies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Brownies can be frozen for up to 2 months wrapped tightly.
