- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or over low heat.
- Add the granulated sugar to the melted butter and whisk until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chopped nuts, if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for 15 minutes before cutting.
Notes
For extra fudginess, remove from the oven when a toothpick inserted shows moist crumbs.
