1
Adjust an oven rack one-third up from the bottom and preheat oven to 425F.
2
Line a 9x11x2-inch pan with foil.
3
Brush well with melted butter.
4
Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a large double boiler over hot water on moderate heat or in a small, heavy saucepan on low heat, stirring occasionally.
5
When combined, remove from heat and set aside.
6
Break the walnuts into pieces if necessary, trying to keep them fairly large.
7
In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the eggs with the vanilla and almond extracts, salt, espresso and sugar at high speed for 10 minutes.
8
On low speed, add the chocolate mixture and beat only until mixed.
9
Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in the nuts.
10
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
11
Bake for 35 minutes, reversing the pan from front to back once to ensure even baking.

Do not be concerned, it is done.
14
Remove the pan from the oven and let stand until cool.
15
Invert the brownies onto a cookie sheet and remove the foil.
16
Cover with length of waxed paper and another cookie sheet.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
