Decadent Cocoa Brownies with Walnuts
These brownies are super easy to make and require just a few ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. Let’s check out what you need to get started:
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- If you’re feeling a little nutty, fold in the chopped walnuts for that extra crunch!
- Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, let them cool in the dish for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and enjoy!
These brownies are sure to be a hit whether you’re sharing them with your crew or just keeping them all for yourself. And trust me, once you take that first bite, you’ll be back in the kitchen for more!
