Notes

  • For an extra chocolatey experience, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled brownies.
  • If you like your brownies gooey, take them out of the oven a minute early.
  • Consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
