Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 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
Optional
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for even baking of the brownies.
- Melt Butter and White Chocolate: In a saucepan over low heat, gently melt together the unsalted butter and white chocolate chips, stirring frequently to combine them smoothly without burning.
- Mix Sugar, Eggs, and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the granulated sugar. Then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract for flavor enhancement.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour and salt into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing and keeping the brownies tender.
- Fold in Nuts (Optional): If desired, gently fold in the chopped nuts to add a crunchy texture contrast to the soft brownies.
- Prepare Baking Pan: Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray, then spread the batter evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 16 squares for serving.
Notes
- For best results, use high-quality white chocolate chips for rich flavor and smooth texture.
- Do not overbake; the brownies should remain moist and slightly fudgy inside.
- Chopped nuts can be substituted with dried fruit or left out entirely for a nut-free version.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to extend freshness.
- Allow the brownies to cool fully before cutting to prevent crumbling.
