Recipe Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Toast nuts on a foil-lined sheet pan until fragrant, about 7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
-
Prepare chocolate mixture: Break chocolate into small pieces and place in a medium microwave-safe bowl with the butter. Melt the butter with chocolate in the microwave, approximately 2 minutes at 50% power. Stir intermittently and continue microwaving at 50% power as needed, stirring every 60 seconds until fully melted. Alternatively, melt the mixture over a double boiler. Allow the chocolate mixture to cool.
-
Prepare eggs and vanilla: Lightly beat eggs and vanilla in a small bowl.
-
Prepare pan: Line an 8×8 pan for thick brownies or a 13×9 pan for thinner ones with foil or parchment paper, leaving enough overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan after baking.
-
Crush nuts: In a heavy-duty plastic bag, crush the toasted nuts with a rolling pin until finely crushed. Add remaining dry and optional ingredients to the bag and shake to combine.
-
Combine ingredients: Slowly pour the egg mixture into the melted chocolate while stirring. The mixture will thicken slightly. Add the dry ingredients in three batches, stirring with a wooden spoon and ensuring each batch is fully incorporated before adding the next.
-
Bake: Spread the brownie mixture into the prepared pan using an angled spatula or large spoon. Bake the 13×9 pan for 30-35 minutes or the 8×8 pan for 45-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out slightly moist. Note that cooking times may vary depending on the type of pan and oven. Start checking for doneness when the brownies emit a delightful aroma. You can rotate the pan halfway through the baking process for even cooking if desired.
-
Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a rack. Once cooled, remove from the pan by lifting the foil liner, place on a cutting board, and cut into squares.
Enjoy your delectable Chewy and Fudgy Brownies!
