Ingredients

  • 10 oz. chopped bittersweet chocolate
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into cubes (56.5g)
  • 2 tablespoons unflavored oil 30g
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar 180g
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract 8g
  • ½ teaspoon salt 4g
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour 90g
  • ¾ cup chopped walnuts 95g
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips 90g

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Spray a 9”x9” square baking pan with nonstick baking spray. Line with parchment paper. Set aside.
  3. Melt the chopped chocolate, butter and oil. Stir vigorously. (You can do this in the microwave, heating in 10 second intervals and stirring until everything is melted OR you can melt these ingredients together using a double boiler.)
  4. Let the chocolate mixture cool for 10 minutes.
  5. Add the sugar to the chocolate mixture. Mix vigorously with a whisk or a hand mixer. (Note: Mixing all the wet ingredients REALLY WELL is important.)
  6. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until incorporated. 
  7. Measure in the flour and salt, stirring until just combined.
  8. Finally, mix in the walnuts and chocolate chips. Stir until evenly distributed. 
  9. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 25-28 minutes or until cooked through. (If you're a fan of gooey brownies, check this around the 22-minute point.)
  10. Enjoy with a glass of milk while the brownies are warm!
