I love Brownies, but due to its sweetness I will only bake it if my children or grandchildren are around. However, this Walnut Brownies recipe is great for me, and I love it's cakey texture, less sweet and slight bitterness from the dark chocolate and black cocoa powder. This will be my 'bookmarked recipe' whenever I crave for Brownies.
Ingredients and Methods:
(A) Melt and mix
- 200 g. dark chocolate
- 125 g. unsalted butter
(B) Whisk, and mix with ingredients (A)
- 70 g. brown sugar (add more if you prefer sweeter)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. coffee extract (I replace with 1 1/2 tsp. instant coffee mix with 1/2 tbsp. hot water)
(C) Fold in with AB mixtures and mix well
- 80 g. plain flour (sifted)
- 25 g. black cocoa powder (sifted)
(D) Pour batter into a lined 8" x 10" pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
(E) Arrange whole walnuts on top of the brownies batter.
(F) Bake in a preheated oven of 180 degree Celsius for 35 minutes.
(G) Remove from oven and place the pan on a wire rack to let it cool slightly.
(H) Turn the brownies over a wire rack and remove the parchment paper.
(I) Slice and enjoy....
Notes:
I bake another batch not long after this first batch. I have not enough walnuts, so I top the rest of the brownies with whole almonds. Since I made it on Father's Day, I specially use a heart-shaped cutter to make one for my hubby.
I adapted this recipe from Jenn's Facebook post, with a slight adjustment to the amount of sugar used.
