Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 4

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In the bowl with the melted butter, add the eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.

  3. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

  4. 6

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, fold in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts to the batter.

Baking

  1. 7

    Bake the Brownies

    Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

  2. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to lift them out, then let them cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
