Notes

  • Check for doneness: Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy; they should look slightly underdone in the center.
  • Customize the mix-ins: Add chopped nuts, caramel swirls, or peanut butter chips for extra flavor.
  • Make it gluten-free: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
