Ingredients:
- 200g dark chocolate
- 140g butter
- 10g oil
- 3 eggs
- 150g brown sugar
- 60g all-purpose flour
- A pinch of salt (to be added with the egg and sugar mixture)
- 80g nuts of choice (walnuts, roasted almonds, etc.)
- 80g additional chocolate, chopped
- Optional: vanilla sugar (though it's delicious without it)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chocolate Mixture:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir in the oil until smooth and set aside. - Beat the Eggs and Sugar:
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the brown sugar and a pinch of salt until the mixture is light and fluffy. - Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring until fully combined. Fold in the flour just until no streaks remain. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender. - Add Nuts and Extra Chocolate:
Gently fold in the chopped nuts and extra chocolate pieces for added texture and richness. - Bake the Brownies:
Pour the batter into a lined or greased baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for about 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. The brownies should be soft and fudgy in the center. - Cool and Serve:
Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy warm or at room temperature for a rich, chocolatey treat.
Enjoy your Classic Fudgy Brownies with nuts—a perfect blend of rich chocolate and crunchy texture for any occasion!
