Double Chocolate Nut Brownies Recipe

Every month I make up a batch of homemade brownies. My family loves to snack on them and often times I will bake a batch of brownies for my husband to take into work or for my granddaughter to take to her scout’s meeting. Brownies are delicious and you can toss all kinds of different goodies into your batter to keep things interesting. With that said, I do prefer to make them from scratch. What about you? Here’s one of my family’s favorite from-scratch recipes!

Double Chocolate Nut Brownies Recipe

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup peanuts, finely chopped

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray non-stick baking spray into your baking pan. You can make this recipe in an 8″ by 8″ pan for thick brownies or a 9″ by 13″ baking pan for thinner ones.

In a small mixing bowl, melt 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave at 15 second intervals until melted, stirring in-between each interval. Remove from the microwave and pour the melted chocolate into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the large eggs, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract and baking soda until all ingredients are well combined. Fold in the chopped peanuts.

Pour the brownie mixture into your prepared baking pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until done. Let the brownies cool and then cut into bars. Store bars in an airtight storage container.
