Description
A rich and fudgy brownie recipe with a delightful crunch from walnuts and sweetness from maple syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz (113 g) unsweetened chocolate
- 1/2 cup (113 g) butter
- 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (about 60 g) chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 g) salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Add the brown sugar to the melted chocolate mixture and stir until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract, then gently fold in the flour, salt, and chopped walnuts until just combined.
- Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, use coconut oil instead of butter.
- Maple syrup can be replaced with agave syrup.
- Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
- For nut allergies, omit walnuts or replace with chocolate chips.
