Tips:

  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help prevent them from crumbling.
  • For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
  • Add a teaspoon of instant coffee powder to the batter for a deeper chocolate flavor.
  • Swirl in a tablespoon of peanut butter or Nutella for a fun twist.
  • Top the brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a decadent dessert.
