How to Make Decadent Cocoa Nut Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water (double boiler), combine ½ cup + 2 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter, 1 ¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar, and ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons (85g) unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Stir constantly until butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and hot.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly until warm, not hot.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or ¼ cup Kahlua if using) and ¼ cup (60ml) vegetable oil with a wooden spoon.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition.
- Once the batter is thick, shiny, and well-blended, gently fold in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) using a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended) and/or ½ cup chocolate chips.
- Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
