Tips
-
Make It Extra Fudgy: If you love gooey brownies, bake for 20 minutes and let them cool completely before cutting.
-
Add Some Crunch: Stir in chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.
-
Boost the Chocolate: Add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate flavor.
-
Dairy-Free Alternative: Use melted coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version.
