Preparing the Base

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

    Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Baking

    Prepare the Baking Pan

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. 7

    Pour Batter

    Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    Cool

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Preparing the Topping
