Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 1 Cup Butter

The secret to making the best brownies is all in the cocoa powder. It gives the brownies that unmistakable rich chocolate flavor. Also, using all-purpose flour gives it a nice structure, while the butter and eggs add the moist, fudgy texture we all crave. And vanilla extract? Well, it just takes the flavor to another level! You can also substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds, or even throw in some chocolate chips for an extra dose of chocolaty goodness!

How To Make Brownies

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat in the cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder. Finally, fold in the walnuts.
3. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
4. Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Now, grab a glass of milk and you’re ready to enjoy!

Tips For The Best Results

• Be careful not over-mix the batter as it can result in cakes that are tough and dense.
• To check the brownie���s doneness, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs.

Storage Tips

• Baked brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Let them cool completely, then wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
• Store leftover brownies in an airtight container. They will maintain the best quality for 2 to 3 days at normal room temperature.
