Instructions

Step 1

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the sugar and stir until combined. • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract. • In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder if using. • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. • Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave, checking and stirring every 30 seconds to prevent burning. Add this to the brownie batter and stir until well combined. • Stir in the remaining chocolate chips and the chopped walnuts if using. • Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. • Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting into squares.
