These fudgy brownies combine rich chocolate flavor with crunchy toasted walnuts for a perfect, comforting treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ¾ cups (350g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (120g) walnuts, roughly chopped and toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter gently in a saucepan or microwave until just melted. Pour it into a large bowl and whisk in the granulated sugar until combined and shiny.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the batter is glossy and smooth.
  4. Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt in a medium bowl to avoid lumps.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Stop as soon as no streaks of flour remain to keep the brownies fudgy.
  6. Fold in the toasted walnuts gently to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check at 25 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into 16 squares using a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies fudgy. Toast walnuts for 5-7 minutes to enhance flavor and crunch. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water to slice brownies cleanly. Avoid overbaking to prevent cakey texture. Line pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
