  • Roast the squash before using: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a food processor to puree the squash: This will ensure that the squash is smooth and evenly incorporated into the brownies.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dry brownies.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking the brownies will make them dry.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and hold their shape.
