Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sugar, cocoa, and margarine together; cream until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in flour and nuts until just combined.
- Pour batter into a large greased pan and bake for 30 minutes at 350°F.
Tips & Substitutions
For an even richer flavor, consider using unsweetened dark cocoa instead of regular cocoa powder. If you're out of margarine, you can substitute with an equal amount of butter or coconut oil. To enhance the brownies, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. Make sure not to overmix the flour to keep them fudgy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delightful contrast. They also pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For special occasions, consider drizzling melted chocolate or caramel sauce on top, or even serve alongside Butter Tea Cookies for a sweet platter.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the brownies to cool completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the fridge for up to a week. For longer storage, slice and freeze the brownies in a freezer-safe container, separating layers with parchment paper. Thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of nuts in this brownie recipe?
Absolutely! While the recipe calls for nuts, you can easily substitute with walnuts, pecans, or even chocolate chips for added sweetness. Just ensure that any nuts used are chopped to a consistent size for even distribution throughout the batter.
What should I do if my brownies are too dry?
If your brownies turn out dry, it may be due to overbaking. To remedy this, you can add a simple syrup or a chocolate ganache on top to add moisture. In the future, keep a close eye on the baking time and test for doneness a few minutes before the suggested time.
How can I make these brownies gluten-free?
To make these brownies gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that the blend is a 1:1 ratio for best results. Additionally, check that all other ingredients, particularly the cocoa powder, are certified gluten-free.
