How to Make Lion House Picnic Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
- In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler) or in a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the melted chocolate mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gently fold in 1 cup all-purpose flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Spread evenly and sprinkle the top of each brownie with ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans and ½ cup chocolate chips.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pans before attempting to remove them.
- Run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the brownies.
- Invert the pans onto a wire rack or serving plate to release the brownies.
- Cut the brownies into 8 pie-shaped pieces per pan. Makes 16 brownies.
