Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.

5
Stir in the vanilla extract, sugar, and salt, mixing until everything is fully incorporated.
6
Gently fold in the finely chopped walnuts and sifted all-purpose flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
7
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to corners.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
9
