Fudgy Walnut Brownies

These brownies turn out moist and fudgy. They bake in the convection oven at 25 degrees lower and for 10 minutes less baking time.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 12 squares

Ingredients

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate (2 squares)
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Position the oven racks so that one rack is in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection bake at 325°F. Butter an 8-inch square pan.

    Step 2

    Place the chocolate and butter together in a small, heavy saucepan over the lowest heat and stir until melted together.

    Step 3

    With an electric mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt on low speed in a mixing bowl until light. Add the chocolate and butter mixture. Stir in the flour and walnuts. Pour the batter into the baking pan.

    Step 4

    Bake on the center rack for 20 to 25 minutes, until the brownies are just barely set. Remove from the oven and cool completely before cutting.
