Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Light brown sugar
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chunks
• 0.75 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the light brown sugar until fully combined. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

Transfer the butter-sugar mixture to a mixing bowl. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chocolate chunks and chopped nuts (if using).

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly using a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).

Step 8

Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 9

Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares or rectangles and serve.
