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 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 FAQs

→ How can I achieve fudgier brownies?

Slightly underbaking the brownies keeps them moist and dense, enhancing the fudgy texture.

→ Can I substitute walnuts with other nuts?

Yes, pecans or hazelnuts work well; alternatively, omit nuts for a nut-free version.

→ Is it necessary to use a single baking pan for preparation?

Using one pan simplifies mixing and cleanup, but you can also prepare the batter separately if preferred.

→ What is the best way to check for doneness?

Insert a toothpick in the center—if a few moist crumbs remain, the brownies are perfectly baked.

→ Can chocolate chips be added to the batter?

Yes, incorporating semisweet chocolate chips adds extra texture and chocolate flavor.
