Ingredients:

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
1 dash salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup walnuts

Fudgy walnut brownies are a decadent treat that combines rich chocolate flavor with the added crunch of walnuts. Perfect for chocoholics and nut lovers alike, this easy-to-follow recipe results in a batch of brownies that are moist, chewy, and utterly satisfying. Whether you’re baking for a party, a potluck, or just a special after-dinner dessert, these walnut-studded brownies are sure to impress.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your oven reaches the right temperature while you prepare the brownie batter.

2. Prepare the Baking Pan: Grease a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking pan, or line it with parchment paper. This helps prevent the brownies from sticking to the pan.

3. Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is completely melted, remove it from the heat.

4. Mix in Cocoa Powder: Add the 7 tablespoons of dry cocoa powder to the melted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.

5. Combine Eggs and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat 4 eggs. Gradually add the 2 cups of sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar, beating continuously until the mixture is thick and light in color.

6. Incorporate the Butter-Cocoa Mixture: Slowly pour the butter-cocoa mixture into the egg-sugar mixture, mixing until well combined.

7. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the 1 cup of all-purpose flour and a dash of salt into the wet mixture. Stir just until everything is incorporated. Avoid over-mixing to keep the brownies tender and fudgy.

8. Flavor with Vanilla: Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and stir to combine.

9. Include the Walnuts: Finally, fold in 1 cup of roughly chopped walnuts. This gives your brownies a delightful crunch.

10. Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

11. Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. It should come out with a few moist crumbs, ensuring the interior remains fudgy.

12. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before cutting. This cooling period helps the brownies set and makes cutting easier.

13. Enjoy: Cut the brownies into squares and enjoy your rich, fudgy walnut brownies!

Tips:

- For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake the brownies and let them cool completely in the pan.

- For a deeper chocolate flavor, consider adding a handful of chocolate chips to the batter.

- Make sure to use fresh walnuts for the best flavor and texture. You can also toast the walnuts lightly before adding them to the batter for an added layer of flavor.

- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to achieve cleaner, neater slices.

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

Enjoy your homemade fudgy walnut brownies! These brownies are sure to be a hit with their rich, chocolaty flavor and satisfying crunch. They can be served warm with a scoop of ice cream or simply as they are – delicious on their own. Perfect for any occasion, these brownies are a delightful treat that will have everyone asking for seconds.
