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 Q&A

→ How do I achieve fudgy brownies?

To keep brownies fudgy, avoid overbaking and slightly underbake them. This retains moisture and creates the desired dense texture.

→ Can I substitute walnuts with other nuts?

Yes, pecans or hazelnuts work well as alternatives and add their unique crunch and flavor to the brownies.

→ Is it important to melt the butter first?

Melted butter helps blend ingredients smoothly and contributes to the rich texture of the brownies.

→ Can chocolate chips be added?

Optional semisweet chocolate chips can be folded into the batter to add bursts of melted chocolate throughout.

→ How should brownies be cooled before cutting?

Let the baked brownies cool completely in the pan to set properly, preventing crumbling when cut into squares.

→ What pan size is recommended?

A 9x13-inch baking pan works best to ensure even baking and proper thickness of the brownie layer.
