Decadent fudgy walnut brownies that combine rich chocolate and crunchy walnuts for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 6 oz (170g) dark chocolate, chopped
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3/4 cup (85g) raw walnuts, roughly chopped, plus extra for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter and chopped dark chocolate together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly for 5 minutes.
  3. Whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a medium mixing bowl until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Combine the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring gently until fully incorporated.
  5. Add the sifted flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the chopped walnuts evenly, reserving a few whole pieces to press into the top before baking.
  7. Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into the corners and press the reserved walnut pieces gently into the surface.
  8. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool the brownies in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing to help them set.
  10. Slice into 9 large squares or 16 smaller squares. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

Pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
