Notes
Sofia's Tips:
Try not to over bake these brownies!
These brownies will continue to bake once removed from the oven and will become cake-like if in the oven for too long. You are looking for wet crumb on a toothpick inserted into the centre.
If making this recipe in a 8x8” pan - bake for 25-30 minutes.
This recipe freezes well stacked between sheets of parchment in an airtight freezer bag.
