Small Batch Chocolate Chip Walnut Brownies

By: Amecia Matlock

These are for my fudgy chocoholics. Rich melty chocolate flavor, with warm nuttiness from the walnuts, loaded within a fudgy brownie. And if you know me, you know we’re browning that butter! So good, you’ll want to eat the whole pan. And with this small-batch recipe, you can absolutely indulge in that guilt-free.

Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp. butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 egg (at room temperature)
  • ½ tbsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 5 tbsp. all–purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp espresso powder
  • 6 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ⅓ cup milk chocolate chips
  • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts
  • Dash of flakey sea salt
  • Dark chocolate chips to taste

Directions

  1. Start by preheating oven to 350° F, and prep an 8×4 loaf pan with parchment paper
  2. Brown the butter. This is done by heating butter in a pan on medium heat until reaching a warm caramel color.
  3. Whisk in brown and granulated sugars.
  4. Once fully incorporated, add in egg and vanilla.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Add dry mixture to wet ingredients along with espresso powder and cocoa powder and mix until just combined.
  7. Stir in walnuts and milk chocolate chips being sure not to overmix.
  8. Pour batter into pan. It will be a thick and fudgy consistency, so make sure to spread it evenly so that the bottom of the pan is covered.
  9. Top with dark chocolate chips to taste, and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a fork can come out clean from center of the brownies.
  10. Immediately top with flakey sea salt
  11. Make sure to wait 15-30 minutes before cutting into it. As hard as it is, this will ensure the structural integrity of your brownies!
  12. Enjoy!

Makes 6-8 small brownies. Served best warm and melty.
