a real brownie brownie recipe
(1 rating)
An old fashioned brownie with that 'punch' of chocolate we crave. A perfect balance of fudge & cake. The pecans or walnuts go on top of the batter, during cooking, they get fragrant & have texture (inside the batter, they steam & get soft).

How To Make a real brownie brownie recipe
-
1Adjust oven to middle rack & preheat to 325*. Spray a 13x9" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or fit foil in baking dish, allowing excess to overhang, and spray foil with non-stick cooking spray.
-
2Whisk to combine flour, salt, and baking powder in medium bowl; set aside.
-
3In microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate & softened butter on 50% power for 1 minute. Stir well, then continue at 50% power, 15 second increments, stirring well before repeating. Do not let chocolate burn. It will continue to melt, while stirring.
-
4When chocolate is completely smooth, gradually whisk in sugar, add eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition until thoroughly combined. Whisk in vanilla. Add flour mixture in three additions, folding with rubber spatula until batter is completely smooth.
-
5Transfer batter to prepared pan; using spatula, spread batter evenly & into corners of pan. Sprinkle the nuts(if using)on top of batter. Bake until toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 30-35 minutes(under-baked, batter is clinging to toothpick, over-baked, toothpick comes out clean.)
-
6Cool on wire rack for 2 hours and cut in baking dish or remove brownies, if using foil, by lifting foil overhang. Store leftovers in airtight container.
