How to Make Perfect Brownies
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) with rack on the lower-middle level.
- Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Line the pan with a 16x8-inch sheet of foil, leaving excess foil overhanging the sides for easy removal.
- Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.
- In a medium bowl, melt 6 ounces (170g) semi-sweet chocolate and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter together over low heat, stirring until smooth.
- Remove from heat and whisk in 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Whisk in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir until the batter is completely smooth and glossy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts or your desired mix-ins (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
- Using the foil overhang, lift the brownies out of the pan and invert onto the wire rack to cool completely (about 1 hour).
- Cut into 16 squares and enjoy!
