Ingredients You'll Need:
3/4 cup melted unsalted butter
14-ounce can of La Lechera® sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup crushed walnuts
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Line a 7x7 baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring that it hangs over the edges for easy removal later.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift in the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt into the wet mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold and mix until all ingredients are well incorporated, ensuring no lumps remain.
Add the Goodies: Gently fold in the crushed walnuts and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter. This step adds layers of texture and flavor, making each bite a delightful experience.
Bake to Perfection: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 15-25 minutes. Once cooled, slice into squares, and indulge in the fudgy goodness!
