Tasty Tuesday Walnut Brownies

So I found this recipe online last week and tried them and they are amazing. If anybody knows the site I got it on as I lost it let me know :)

Ingredients

  • Melted butter, for greasing
  • 150g walnut halves
  • 200g good-quality dark cooking
  • chocolate (like Plaistowe Cooking Chocolate), chopped
  • 200g (1 cup, firmly packed)
  • brown sugar
  • 125mls (1/2 cup) vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 75g (1/2 cup) plain flour
  • 30g (1/4 cup) cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C. Brush a shallow 23cm square cake pan with the melted butter to lightly grease. Line the base with non-stick baking paper.
  2. Spread walnuts on a baking tray and toast in preheated oven for 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned (see microwave tip 1). Cool and chop coarsely.
  3. Meanwhile: place the chocolate in a medium heat-resistant bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir until melted and smooth (see microwave tip 2). Remove the bowl from the heat and set aside.
  4. Combine the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl. Use electric beaters to beat until well combined and paler in colour. Add the melted chocolate and beat until well combined.
  5. Sift together flour, cocoa powder and baking powder over chocolate mixture and use a large metal spoon to fold in until combined. Fold in the walnuts.
  6. Spoon mixture into prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes or until moist crumbs cling to a skewer inserted into the centre. Remove from oven and cool completely in pan. Turn onto a board, remove paper and cut into pieces.
These keep for up to a week but they won't last that long lol
Until Next Time,
Loves, Hugs and Squishes,
