Ingredients:
- 3.5 oz (100g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1.6 oz (45g) cocoa powder
- 6 oz (170g) butter
- 1.2 oz (35g) neutral oil
- 10.5 oz (300g) sugar, divided
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 5.3 oz (150g) walnuts, coarsely chopped
- Nutella, warmed for drizzling
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C).
- Combine 150g of sugar with the butter and oil in a saucepan. Heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is well combined, avoiding burning. Alternatively, use the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining 150g of sugar for 1 minute. Add the vanilla extract and gradually mix in the warm butter mixture.
- Sift together the flour, salt, and cocoa powder. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Stir in the chopped walnuts.
- Grease and flour a 20x30cm baking dish. Pour the batter into the dish and bake for 30 minutes. The edges should be set, the center slightly glossy, and the surface lightly cracked.
- Allow cooling at room temperature for at least two hours before cutting. Drizzle with warm Nutella before serving.
Tips:
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, consider adding chocolate chips to the batter.
- Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before slicing to achieve clean cuts.
- Adjust the amount of Nutella to your preference, either lightly drizzling or generously coating the brownies.
Indulge in the rich, chocolatey, and nutty delight of these Nutella Walnut Brownies, a treat that promises to be as beautiful to look at as it is delicious to eat. Enjoy!
