Notes
Tips: For extra fudgy brownies, don’t overbake! The center should still look slightly wet when you remove them from the oven. Substitutions: Can use melted butter instead of oil for richer flavor. Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
