Brownie with walnuts is a yummy snack usually loved by one and all. Who does not love to indulge in these heavenly delights once in a while, right? I especially love these old-fashioned brownies with walnuts.
Brownies can either be cakey, fudgy, or gooey with a crackly top. I was looking to make a fudgy brownie, and that meant avoiding baking soda or baking powder so it would not rise. Here is my version of the brownie. This recipe is a no-fail one and turns out to be yummy!

How to make brownies with walnuts?
Start by Greasing the baking pan with cooking oil spray and line it with parchment paper. To get a nice crackly top Combine melted butter, oil, and sugar together in a bowl and whisk well for about a minute. Next, we add the eggs and vanilla and beat for another minute until it gets a pale and lighter color.
Add flour, cocoa powder, walnuts, and salt gently stirring the dry ingredients until just combined without overbeating it. Pour the batter into the greased pan and smooth the top out evenly bake for about 25 minutes until the center of the brownies no longer jiggles and on testing, with a toothpick, it comes out dirty. Cool in the pan and slice into small brownie squares.
