Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (or more if you love nuts!)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat.
3. Stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined and smooth. Be careful not to over mix!
6. Fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the brownie batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it out evenly.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
9. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
