This recipe makes rich, chocolate brownies that are just the right texture.
Servings: 24 2" brownies
Calories: 200kcal
Ingredients
- 4 squares unsweetened chocolate 4 oz
- ⅔ cup butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ¼ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup walnuts optional
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F degrees.
- Grease a 9" x 12″ pan and set aside.
- Melt chocolate and butter over low heat or in the microwave until melted. Watch closely as this can burn easily.
- Beat sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt.
- Stir in flour and baking powder.
- When cool, add the chocolate/butter mixture and stir until well combined.
- Now you have an option. Mix in the walnuts or lay them on top. I like the walnuts on the top of the brownies (as in the picture). Some people like them mixed in. I have found that my kids don’t like nuts in brownies, but I love them, so I put them on top. That way the kids can pick them out, and people who are allergic to nuts will clearly see the brownies have nuts in them. I generally make the pan with half nuts/half no nuts.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9" x 12" pan.
- Bake at 350F degrees for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
