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 28 to 32 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 can I achieve fudgier brownies?

For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake the brownies by checking them a few minutes before the full baking time ends. The center should have moist crumbs.

→ Can I substitute walnuts with other nuts?

Yes, pecans or hazelnuts work well as alternatives. You can also omit nuts entirely for a nut-free variant.

→ Is it necessary to melt butter directly in the baking pan?

Melting butter directly in the pan helps combine ingredients smoothly without extra dishes, but melting separately also works.

→ What’s the best way to check doneness?

Insert a toothpick into the center—if it comes out with a few moist crumbs, the brownies are ready without overbaking.

→ How should I store leftover brownies?

Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
