Ingredients

¼ cup butter
1 cup sugar
½ cup flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave.
Whisk in the sugar and flour until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla to the mixture, and continue whisking until smooth.
Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (or pecans) until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the unbaked 9-inch pie shell, spreading it evenly.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the middle is set. You can test the doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the pie—if it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs clinging to it, the pie is ready.
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving. This will allow the pie to set properly.

Notes

While walnuts are traditional in this recipe, you can substitute them with pecans if desired. Simply chop the pecans to the same size as the walnuts and use them as a replacement. Enjoy your homemade pie!
