25-Min Fudgy Brownies with Almonds

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Melt butter and chopped chocolate together in a microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until fully melted and smooth (about 90 seconds total).

Step 3

Stir sugar into the warm chocolate mixture until combined. Add eggs one at a time, whisking until each is fully incorporated.

Step 4

Fold flour into the chocolate mixture with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in chocolate chunks and almonds, then pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.

Step 6

Bake for 18–22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool for 10 minutes, then slice into 9 squares.
