Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smoothly melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
- Add the maple syrup, olive oil, and vanilla extract to the eggs, and whisk together until well combined.
- Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder into the wet ingredients, folding in gently until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the chopped almonds, dried plums (prunes), and walnuts into the brownie mixture. Ensure they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the melted dark chocolate into the batter mixture, stirring until the batter is a consistent and smooth texture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs (not wet batter).
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes.
- Once cooled, remove from the pan using the parchment paper if lined.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Tips:
- Ensure the dark chocolate is of good quality, as it significantly affects the flavor of the brownies.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter; overmixing can result in a denser brownie.
- For an extra moist texture, consider melting the chocolate and olive oil together before combining them with the other wet ingredients.
- Chop the walnuts and almonds roughly to maintain a good texture and bite in the brownies.
- Experiment by adding a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty flavor combination.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and prevent them from falling apart.
These walnut and chocolate brownies are an excellent way to enjoy a sweet treat while incorporating wholesome ingredients like dark chocolate, almonds, and walnuts. The unique combination of textures and flavors makes them a standout dessert. Enjoy these brownies with a cup of coffee or tea, or serve them at your next gathering for a delightful treat.
