  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading to make sure it’s even.

Notes

A Few Tips for Success

  • If you want thinner brownies use a larger/longer pan, but you will need to bake them in less time. For example; a 9X13-inch pan for about 20-30 minutes.
  • Do NOT beat the batter, because it will become more cake-like than fudge-like.
  • Do Not overbake, they will get dry.

Storage Notes

  • They will store at room temp for 3 days or 5 days in the fridge.
