Notes
Baking is easier and more accurate when measuring the weight. I recommend getting a kitchen scale.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
These brownies freeze well. Store in an airtight container for up to a month. Thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes before enjoying. Heat in a toaster oven for warm melt-in-your mouth brownies.
