Ingredients

For the Smoked Walnuts

  • 1 ¾ cup (210g) Chopped Walnuts
  • 2 Tablespoons (28g) Unsalted Butter melted
  • 2 Tablespoons (24g) Light Brown Sugar

For the Brownies

  • ½ cup (120g) Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ¾ cup (144g) Sugar
  • ½ cup (96g) Light Brown Sugar
  • 3 Eggs lightly beaten
  • ½ cup (40g) Cocoa Powder I prefer Dutch-processed
  • 1 teaspoon Instant Coffee Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ⅔ cup (79g) All-Purpose Flour

Instructions

Making the Smoked Walnuts

  • Preheat smoker to 275ºF.
  • In a large bowl, melt the butter before stirring in the brown sugar. Add the walnuts to the butter mixture and stir to evenly coat.
  • Add the coated walnuts to a parchment covered sheet pan or disposable foil pan with a wire rack. Grates will help the walnuts pick up more smoke.
  • Smoke for 1 hour. Let the walnuts cool completely before incorporating into the brownie batter.

Making the Brownies

  • Increase the Traeger temperature to 375ºF.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vanilla, sugar and light brown sugar.
  • Add the lightly beaten eggs and whisk in until completely combined.
  • Add the cocoa powder, instant coffee powder, salt, and flour. Mix until combined.
  • Gently fold in the smoked walnuts until evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Place in the Traeger and cook for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
