Brownies are soft and fudgy, so when you add some crunch to them, like with a fistful of crushed walnuts, they become much more enjoyable.
These are still classic brownies made with an easy, traditional recipe, but the walnuts really take them to another level. They somewhat taste like the ones in trendy restaurants.
Before we get started, let me remind you that brownies taste better when shared and much more so when you bake them with friends or family. Make this easy brownie recipe a group effort and bake with others. Put on some music and get your hands dirty; let’s bring some fun back to the kitchen!
Back to our recipe. Today I’m sharing with you an easy recipe for walnut brownies, and it’s fantastic. Do you know those fudgy brownies with a glossy finish? Well, that’s these right here.
Since these are walnut brownies, make sure you have some walnuts around and crush them while in a zip-lock until ready to use. It comes without saying you can use any type of nut you want. From pistachios to almonds, everything tastes great in these brownies.
You’ll also need some regular brownie ingredients. Eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder and whatnot. You’ll find the whole list below, but don’t worry, they’re all common ingredients.
The only other significant difference between these brownies and others is using a few tablespoons of instant coffee to the batter. It gives the brownies color, bitterness and a grown-up feel. You’ll absolutely love coffee brownies, and they’ll keep you up all night!
Let’s check out the recipe and get started. These easy coffee walnut brownies aren’t baking themselves! Shall we?
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a square 9-inch baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oil, sugar, vanilla extract and eggs. Combine thoroughly.
In a second bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee, baking powder and salt.
Incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into the oil mixture slowly while whisking to form the brownie batter. Fold in the crushed walnuts.
Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
