Ingredients
Instructions
- While heating the oven, place sticks of butter in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan and allow to melt, watching carefully.
- Combine sugar, chocolate syrup, egg, flour, and nuts in a mixing bowl.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle with nuts on top.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. If you prefer a fudgier texture, reduce the baking time by a few minutes. You can substitute half of the butter with applesauce for a lighter version. If you're out of chocolate syrup, melted chocolate or cocoa powder mixed with a little water can work as alternatives.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delightful dessert. They also pair well with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dollop of whipped cream. For a unique twist, serve alongside Peanutty Stuffed Apple Wedges for a delicious contrast of flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour for this recipe?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour for a healthier option, though it may slightly alter the texture. Gluten-free all-purpose flour can also work well if you need a gluten-free version. Just make sure to check the packaging for any specific measurements or adjustments.
What type of nuts work best in these brownies?
Walnuts and pecans are popular choices for brownies, adding a nice crunch and flavor. You can also use almonds or hazelnuts if you prefer. For a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts altogether, and the brownies will still be delicious.
Can I make these brownies vegan?
Absolutely! Substitute the egg with a flaxseed or chia seed egg (1 tablespoon of ground seeds mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water), and replace the butter with a plant-based alternative like coconut oil or vegan butter. Ensure the chocolate syrup is also vegan-friendly.
