Equipment
- 1 9x13 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper
- 1 saucepan
- 1 Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped hazelnuts
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and grease it lightly with butter.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar until well combined. Allow to cool slightly.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Serving
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into slices. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Storage
- Place any leftover brownies in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
