Preheat oven:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Melt butter and mix sugar:

In the baking pan, melt the butter in the preheating oven. Remove the pan and stir in the sugar directly into the melted butter until combined.

Add eggs and vanilla:

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Add dry ingredients:

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder over the wet mixture in the pan. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined.

Fold in add-ins:

Fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips if using, ensuring theyre evenly distributed.

Smooth batter:

Smooth the batter evenly in the pan.

Bake:

Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake for fudgy brownies).

Cool and serve:

Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Recipe FAQs

→ How can I make brownies extra fudgy?

Slightly underbake the brownies by checking with a toothpick and removing them while a few moist crumbs remain for a fudgier texture.

→ Can I substitute the walnuts?

Yes, pecans or hazelnuts can be swapped in, or you can omit nuts altogether for a nut-free version.

→ What is the best pan size for baking?

A 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking pan is recommended to ensure even baking and proper thickness.

→ How do I incorporate the ingredients directly in the pan?

Start by melting the butter in the pan, then stir in sugar before adding eggs and dry ingredients, folding gently to combine.

→ Are chocolate chips necessary?

Chocolate chips are optional, but they add extra pockets of melted chocolate for enhanced richness.

→ How should the brownies be cooled?

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking pan to set properly before cutting into squares.
