    Chocolate Walnut Brownie

    Blogging Marathon #73 Week 4 Day 2

    Theme: Ingredients through Mail

    Dish: Chocolate Walnut Brownie



    Decadent brownies; a perfect combination of chocolate and walnuts. These brownies are so good, it is difficult to stop at one!




    Brownies, I think the name itself is enough to get me thinking of a ton of delicious desserts! Compared to chocolate cakes, I prefer chocolate walnut brownies. Precisely the reason why I avoid making them; because I binge on them whenever I make them! 


    For this week's Marathon I decided to make them and put them up on the blog. As my theme this week is Ingredients by Mail, and Srividhya gave me walnuts as my second ingredient, I made these decadent brownies. 


    At first I thought I would make a Greek dip using peppers and walnuts. But whenever I looked at the walnuts on my kitchen counter, I kept thinking of brownies. So finally they are up!


    Chocolate and walnuts in a batter, baked to perfection and served alongside some ice cream defines the best dessert. So I made this brownie from scratch, using a recipe that I used half a decade ago, and now have no idea about the source. However, the recipe worked out each time so I stuck to this recipe. 


    I have seen a lot of brownie recipes that ask you to use a double boiler to mix chocolate with the fat and proceed. However, I think that is a slightly complex method and prefer a method that asks to mix all the ingredients in a bowl and bake. These recipes are super easy to follow and give perfect results. So this one is perfect, even for first time bakers!

    Substitutions



    In the recipe I have used a few basic pantry ingredients. However, if you would like to leave out or substitute; you can do that. Granulated sugar can be substituted by brown sugar. Oil can be replaced by butter and egg can be eliminated by adding a mixture of 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds and 2 ½ tablespoon water. If you do not like walnuts, add any nuts you like or even chocolate chips. You can leave them out completely too!


    Ingredients


    All purpose Flour ½ cup

    Granulated Sugar 1 cup

    Walnuts ¾ cup, chopped

    Vegetable Oil ½ cup

    Eggs 2

    Vanilla Extract 1 tsp

    Unsweetened Cocoa Powder ⅓ cup

    Baking Powder ¼ tsp

    Salt ¼ tsp

    Method

    Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9x9 tray with parchment paper or nonstick spray. Roughly chop the walnuts and set aside. 

    In a bowl sieve flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Mix and set aside. 

    In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer beat oil and sugar. Once it mixes add vanilla extract and eggs. Whisk until combined.

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones. Combine to a homogenous mixture. Fold in walnuts. 

    Pour the batter to the prepared baking tray. Bake for 22-25 minutes, till a skewer comes out clean. 

    Cool for a few minutes and transfer to a cooling rack. Cool completely. Cut to pieces and serve.
