  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the egg mixture to the melted butter and sugar, stirring well after each addition.
  6. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  7. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using).
  8. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet).
  10. Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack.
  11. Once the brownies have cooled, you can dust them with powdered sugar if desired.
