Note

Storage: Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.

Substitutions: You can substitute the walnuts with pecans or almonds for a different nutty flavor. For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil instead of butter.

Tips: Ensure the butter is cold and cut into small chunks for easier processing. If the batter seems too dry, add a teaspoon of milk.

Variations: Add a swirl of peanut butter or a handful of dried cranberries for extra flavor complexity.
