Tip: To ensure easy removal, make sure the parchment paper is pressed firmly onto the dish.
- 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Tip: This will help incorporate the dry ingredients evenly.

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl periodically.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Tip: Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- 5
Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Tip: Stop as soon as the ingredients are combined, or the brownies may become dense.

Melt the dulce de leche in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth.
Tip: This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- 7
Pour the melted dulce de leche into the batter and mix until fully incorporated.
Tip: This will create a gooey, fudgy center.

Stir in the chopped walnuts.
Tip: This will add texture and flavor to the brownies.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
Tip: Make sure the batter is evenly distributed and the top is smooth.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
