Total time: 50 min
Yield: 12 brownies
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 cup dried apricots, chopped; 1 cup boiling water; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder; 1/2 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted; 1 cup granulated sugar; 1/2 cup brown sugar; 3 large eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
Place the chopped dried apricots in a heatproof bowl and pour the boiling water over them. Let the apricots soak for about 10-15 minutes until they are softened. Once softened, drain the apricots and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until the sugars are fully incorporated into the butter.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the soaked apricots and chopped walnuts (if using) into the brownie batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
