Brownies

Brownies are a classic, beloved dessert that can be enjoyed by all ages. Rich and fudgy with a delightful crunch from walnuts, this brownie recipe is easy to follow and perfect for any occasion. With the perfect balance of dark chocolate and cocoa powder, these brownies deliver a deeply satisfying chocolate experience.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup dark chocolate
120g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup sugar
200g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2 eggs
100g
1/3 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
72g
2 tbsp dry cocoa powder
30g
1/2 cup walnuts
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2. Melt Chocolate and Butter:
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the 1/2 cup dark chocolate and 1/2 cup butter together. Stir until smooth and fully combined. Let it cool slightly.
3. Mix in Sugar and Vanilla:
Add the 1 cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the melted chocolate-butter mixture. Stir well until combined.
4. Add Eggs:
One at a time, add the 2 eggs, beating well after each addition. Ensure the mixture is smooth and glossy.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the 1/3 cup all-purpose flour and 2 tbsp dry cocoa powder. Gradually fold this into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Add Walnuts:
Fold in the 1/2 cup walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour into Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
8. Bake:
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). Remember, brownies will continue to cook slightly in the pan after you remove them from the oven.
9. Cool:
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
10. Serve:
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Tips:

- Use high-quality dark chocolate: The quality of chocolate directly affects the flavor of your brownies. Opt for dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content for a rich, decadent taste.

- Don't overmix the batter: Once you add the flour and cocoa powder, mix just until combined to avoid overdeveloping the gluten, which can make the brownies tough rather than tender.

- Line your baking pan with parchment paper: This will make it easier to remove the brownies from the pan and ensures a clean, sharp edge on each piece.

- Check doneness with a toothpick: Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are done. If it comes out wet with batter, bake a bit longer.

- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting: This helps them set properly and results in cleaner slices. Cutting too soon can cause them to crumble.

In under an hour, you can have a batch of rich, delicious brownies ready to enjoy. They are perfect as a treat for yourself, to share with family and friends, or to bring to a gathering. Enjoy them warm with a scoop of ice cream or simply on their own with a glass of milk.
