Ingredients:
3/4 cup walnuts1 cup dark chocolate

Indulge in these rich and gooey chocolate walnut brownies that are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. These brownies combine the deep flavor of dark chocolate with the crunch of walnuts to create an irresistible treat suitable for any occasion.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easier removal later.
- Roughly chop the walnuts and set them aside.
- Break the dark chocolate into small pieces.
- In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate until smooth. If using the microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until fully melted.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate, olive oil, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, dry cocoa powder, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Gently fold the chopped walnuts into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake – brownies are best when they are fudgy in the middle.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cool, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan and onto a cutting board.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Tips:
- Do not overmix the batter once you've added the dry ingredients, as this can make the brownies tough.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, consider using high-quality dark chocolate.
- If you prefer extra gooey brownies, bake them for a slightly shorter time and check frequently for doneness.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts or add-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruit.
These chocolate walnut brownies are a decadent dessert that combines rich chocolate flavor with the pleasant crunch of walnuts. Perfect for any gathering or just as a sweet treat for yourself, they are sure to delight everyone who tries them.
