Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the brownies.
- Melt butter and white chocolate: In a saucepan over low heat, gently melt the unsalted butter and white chocolate chips together, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth and combined. Remove from heat.
- Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla: Stir the granulated sugar into the melted mixture, then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Combine dry ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which keeps brownies tender.
- Fold in nuts (optional): If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Prepare the batter for baking: Spread the batter evenly into a greased 9×9 inch baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even cooking.
- Bake the brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 squares for serving.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to ensure the brownies stay soft and chewy.
- Chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans add texture, but you can omit them for a nut-free version.
- Allowing the brownies to cool fully before cutting helps achieve clean edges.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
