Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup salted butter
  • 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar divided
  • 3 large eggs room temperature is best
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cups chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray, set it aside.
  2. In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder, whisk to combine and set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, add the butter and 1/3 cup of sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until the butter is completely melted. Remove from the heat.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, vanilla and remaining 1 cup of sugar. Whisk for about 30 seconds, ensuring that it is mixed well.
  5. Slowly pour the butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until combined. You want to add this very slowly so that you don’t cook the eggs with the butter mixture.
  6. Add in the dry ingredients, chocolate chips and walnuts. Using a rubber spatula, slowly stir until the mixture just comes together. Do not overmix! Stop stirring once the last traces of the dry ingredients are incorporated.
  7. Scrape the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 28 -34 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the top is shiny and slightly cracked. Use a cake tester and check in the center of the pan to make sure the brownies are done.
  9. Place the pan on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before cutting.
