Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large saucepan sprayed with Pam and over very low heat, melt the chocolate chips and butter, stirring occasionally until well blended; remove from heat.
- Add the biscuit baking mix, sweetened condensed milk, and egg; stir well to combine.
- Stir in chopped walnuts.
- Spray Pam on the bottom and sides of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
- Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared dish.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, then cool slightly.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra moisture, consider adding a tablespoon of brewed coffee to enhance the chocolate flavor. If you don't have biscuit baking mix, a combination of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt works well. Chopped pecans can be used as a substitute for walnuts if desired. Be careful not to overbake; a toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs for that chewy texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. They pair beautifully with fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce. For a fun twist, try serving them alongside a cup of coffee or hot cocoa. You could also package them as gifts or treats for gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. You can also freeze individual squares wrapped in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy them warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of nut in this brownie recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute walnuts with pecans, almonds, or even leave them out entirely for a nut-free version. Each nut will add a unique flavor and texture, so choose based on your preference or dietary needs.
What should I do if I want to make these brownies gluten-free?
To make these brownies gluten-free, replace the biscuit baking mix with a gluten-free baking mix or use a combination of almond flour and a gluten-free all-purpose flour. Ensure that all ingredients, including chocolate chips, are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
Can I add other flavors or ingredients to the brownies?
Certainly! You can mix in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt for added flavor. Feel free to add in dried fruits like cranberries or even some mint chocolate chips for a refreshing twist. Just be mindful of the overall moisture in the batter.
