Instructions

Step 1

1. Coarsely chop the butter and chocolate. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave using a pulsed mode, taking the bowl out to stir every 30 seconds until smooth. Ensure you use intervals to prevent the chocolate from burning.

Step 2

2. In another bowl, lightly whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined. Whisk until just combined; over-whisking can lead to a cakier texture.

Step 3

3. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously. Then add the flour and salt, mixing thoroughly until you have a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps for a smooth batter.

Step 4

4. Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C). While waiting, dry the walnuts in the oven at 302°F (150°C) for a few minutes. Then add them to your batter, mixing them in evenly. Drying the walnuts enhances their flavor and crunch.

Step 5

5. Grease a square brownie mold with butter and line it with parchment paper. Lining with parchment paper makes it easier to lift out the brownies after baking.

Step 6

6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared mold. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid over-baking to keep the brownies fudgy.

Step 7

7. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the mold before cutting them into pieces. Cool completely to let the brownies set and ease cutting.

Servings

Imagine this: A sunny day, a gentle breeze, and a plate full of these irresistible fudgy brownies. Serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic combination that never fails to impress. Feeling adventurous? Drizzle some caramel or raspberry sauce on top for an extra burst of flavor. For a cozy afternoon treat, pair the brownies with a cup of rich espresso or a frothy cappuccino. If you’re hosting a party, slice the brownies into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a platter with fresh berries and mint leaves as garnishes. The possibilities are endless, but one thing is certain—these brownies will be the star of your spread.

Variations

For those following a gluten-free diet, swap the regular flour with a gluten-free blend. Ensure it's a 1:1 substitution for convenience. Vegans need not miss out on these delights either. Substitute the butter with vegan butter and use a flaxseed egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water) for a plant-based alternative. Choose dairy-free chocolate and you're all set for some mouthwatering vegan brownies!

Faq

  • Why do I need to melt the chocolate and butter in pulses?

    Melting in pulses prevents the chocolate from burning, ensuring a smooth, glossy mixture.

  • Can I use a hand mixer instead of a whisk?

    Yes, a hand mixer can be used for more consistent results, just be careful not to overmix.

  • How do I know when the brownies are done?

    Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they're perfect.

  • Can I add other nuts or mix-ins?

    Absolutely! Pecans, hazelnuts, or even chocolate chips can be great additions. Just keep the total quantity the same.

  • How do I achieve a shiny top on my brownies?

    Ensuring your sugar is fully dissolved into the egg mixture can help create that sought-after shiny crust.

  • Can I freeze the brownies for later?

    Yes, let them cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze. They can be stored for up to three months.
