Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (Bayou touch)
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for extra gooiness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar together until well combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
  10. Cut into squares and share your delicious memory.

Notes

  • For the Bayou flavor, we sometimes add a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper (less than 1/8 teaspoon) to the dry ingredients for a subtle warmth.
  • Cooling completely before cutting gives you the cleanest squares. Patience is part of the process!
  • Richard always says the secret to fudgy brownies is using melted butter and not overbaking them.
