Sofia' s Tips:
If using convection to bake these brownies, reduce the heat by 25F to 325 and bake for ~22 minutes
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 can be allowed to set in the fridge once topped with chocolate!
