Recipe FAQs

→ How can I achieve fudgier brownies?

For a fudgier texture, bake the brownies slightly less than indicated until a toothpick shows moist crumbs.

→ Can I substitute walnuts with other nuts?

Yes, pecans or hazelnuts work well as alternatives to walnuts or you can omit nuts entirely for a nut-free version.

→ Is it necessary to melt the butter in the pan?

Melting butter directly in the baking pan simplifies mixing and helps quickly combine ingredients for a smooth batter.

→ What is the best way to mix the dry ingredients?

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder over the wet mixture and gently fold with a spatula to maintain lightness.

→ How should I store leftovers to maintain freshness?

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for longer freshness.

→ Can chocolate chips be added for extra richness?

Yes, folding in semisweet chocolate chips adds pockets of melty richness without changing texture significantly.
