Easy and fudge brownies! They are made in one bowl in less than 30 minutes, topped with walnuts and pecans coarsely chopped that gives a nutty flavour. I love brownies that melt in your mouth and also the ones that you need to eat with a spoon.
Makes 9 brownie squares
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
2 medium eggs
1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping
1/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 F (180ºC) and place a rack in the centre of the oven. Grease an 8-inch square pan, and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt the butter and sugar in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until get a shiny mixture, then remove from heat and leave it to cool slightly.
3. Add the eggs into the butter mixture, adding one a at time until combined. The mixture should be pale and fluffy. This step might takes you no more than 2 minutes.
4. Stir in the flour, cocoa powder and salt with a rubber spatula until incorporate.
5. Pour batter into the lined pan and level off the top. Sprinkle some nuts on top. Bake for around 12 to 14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the brownie comes out with moist crumbs. I recommend you not to over bake.
6. Get the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely. Then, remove brownie from pan and cut into squares. Meanwhile the brownie is warm, decorate with some chocolate chips on top.
