Microwave Brownies are a fun and easy way to whip up a quick treat without dirtying a lot of dishes in the process. These brownies are rich and chocolatey, with a slightly dense texture. While they may not have the same texture as oven-baked brownies, they are still satisfying and delicious in their own right. With the addition of nuts, these brownies are a fun and customizable way to enjoy a sweet snack.

Instructions

1.	Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
2.	Add the cocoa to the melted butter.
3.	Mix in the sugar, salt, and vanilla.
4.	Whisk in the eggs until well combined.
5.	Stir in the flour and nuts until just combined.
6.	Pour the batter into a microwave-safe dish and heat on high for 5-6 minutes until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft.
