If you’re looking for a fancy brownie, you won’t find it here. These brownies are classic, uncomplicated squares of chocolate-y bliss. A sinfully dark, sugary batter with a touch of espresso powder to enhance that deep chocolate flavor, while toasted walnuts add a warm crunch. You'll be watching the clock as these bake, ready to sink your teeth into this perfectly fudgy dessert. (2-p plan makes 9 brownies; 4-p plan makes 12)

Serves: 2

Cook Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients:

2 (1 oz) walnuts
2 (¾ oz) unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ oz of espresso powder
10 oz of granulated sugar
5 oz of all-purpose flour
8 Tbsp butter
vanilla extract
kosher salt
2 large eggs

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325°F with a rack in the center. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper so that there is a 2-inch overhang on opposite sides.
Transfer walnuts to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake on center oven rack until golden brown and fragrant, 6-9 minutes. Let cool slightly, then coarsely chop.
Microwave 8 tablespoons butter in a medium bowl until melted, 30-90 seconds. Stir in all of the cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon espresso powder until combined. Allow to cool slightly.
Whisk in ½ teaspoon each of vanilla extract and salt. Add 2 large eggs and whisk until batter is completely smooth (mixture should resemble chocolate pudding). Add 1 cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup flour. Mix until just combined and no flour streaks remain. Fold in walnuts.
Transfer batter to prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Bake on center oven rack until top is crackly and batter just begins to pull away from the sides, 30-35 minutes (it will still be fudge-like in the middle).
Let brownies cool completely in the baking dish. Remove and cut into squares for serving. Enjoy!
