Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ¾ cups (350g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed preferred)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (90g) dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (90g) milk chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (90g) white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (100g) chopped walnuts, toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
  2. Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring for about 5 minutes until aromatic and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
  3. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth but not boiling. Let it cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract and melted butter gently until combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  7. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Do not overmix; streaks of flour are okay.
  8. Gently fold in the dark, milk, and white chocolate chips along with the toasted walnuts.
  9. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  10. Bake for 28-33 minutes, checking at 28 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  11. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least one hour before slicing.

Notes

Toast walnuts in a dry pan for 5 minutes to enhance flavor. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Do not overmix after adding flour to keep brownies tender. Tent with foil if edges bake faster than center. Cool completely before slicing for best texture. For nut-free, substitute walnuts with toasted pumpkin or sunflower seeds or omit nuts. Gluten-free option available by substituting flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free blend.
