Ingredients:

1/2 cup dark chocolate
120g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
2 eggs
100g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
1/3 cup self-raising flour
50g
2 tbsp dry cocoa powder
30g
1/2 cup sour cream
120g
1/2 cup walnuts
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Baking Pan:
- Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan and line it with parchment paper, allowing some paper to hang over the edges for easy removal later.
3. Melt Chocolate and Butter:
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler setup) and stir occasionally until both are completely melted and smooth.
- Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- Once melted, remove the bowl from heat and stir in the brown sugar until well combined.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the beaten eggs gradually, mixing continuously to avoid cooking the eggs.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, self-raising flour, and cocoa powder.
6. Combine All Ingredients:
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the sour cream until the batter is smooth and uniform.
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
7. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- 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 (but not wet batter).
8. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut them into squares.
9. Enjoy!:
- Serve the walnut and chocolate chunk brownies as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.

Tips:

- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content.

- To enhance the flavor and texture, lightly toast the walnuts before adding them to the batter.

- Make sure to let the brownies cool completely before cutting them; this will help them set and ensure clean slices.

- If you prefer a fudgier brownie, slightly underbake them by reducing the cooking time by a few minutes.

- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze them for longer storage.
