Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for One Bowl Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it thoroughly.
  2. Combine semisweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 90 seconds, stir, then continue in 15-second intervals until smooth.
  3. Stir in granulated sugar, then add eggs and vanilla. Mix until shining. Gently fold in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Add walnuts if desired, don't overmix.
  4. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Edges should firm up while the center remains slightly soft.
  5. Let brownies cool completely in the pan for about 20-30 minutes. Lift out using parchment, cut into squares, and serve.
