Fudgy Nutty Gooey Brownies with Walnuts

One of my all-time favorite desserts, we like brownies no matter which way we bake them: glazed with icing, packed with nuts, or topped with cream cheese. My kids love them with walnuts and enjoy with a scoop of plain vanilla ice cream.

These Brownies loaded with crunchy nuts, and melty shards of chocolate, are yummy little treats. Enjoy them in the nicest possible way :)

INGREDIENTS

6 tbsp. unsalted butter or

¼ cup vegetable oil & ¼ cup of water

Note: Use oil & water only if you’re not using butter.

 4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
2 cups sugar
1 egg beaten
 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup roughly chopped walnuts
1 cup flour 

¼ tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1.     Heat oven to 350°. Grease an 8" x 8" baking pan with butter or cooking spray.

2.     Melt the butter and the chocolate together in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.

3.     I usually microwave for 30 seconds first, stir it and see if its loose consistency. If not try for 15 more seconds.

4.     Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sugar.

5.     In a bowl, add flour, walnuts, and salt; stir until incorporated. Now add the beaten egg and vanilla and stir to make a smooth batter about 35 strokes.

6.     Pour the batter into the baking pan and spread evenly. Bake until a fork inserted into the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Let cool on a rack.

7.     Meanwhile take some confectionery sugar and stir it with butter on room temperature. Drizzle that on top of brownie.

8.     Garnish with chocolate shavings.

9.     Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
