Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
- Next, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- After that, in a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Subsequently, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- If you prefer, fold in the chopped walnuts for a bit of crunch.
- Once done, pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be sure not to overbake if you want them to stay fudgy.
- Finally, allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
