Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's at the right temperature for baking.
Prepare the Baking Pan
Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mixing Ingredients
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add Optional Ingredients
If desired, fold in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts for added flavor and texture.
Baking
Pour Batter into Pan
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Cut
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
