Notes
Optimal Baking Dish: To ensure the brownies cook evenly, use either a 4x6-inch or a 5x5-inch baking dish. For more details, check out the FAQ section.
Cool Before Cutting: Patience is key; allow the brownies to fully cool in the pan before slicing into them. This ensures that they hold their shape.
Non-Stick Knife Trick: Spritz your knife with non-stick cooking spray before cutting. This simple hack ensures that the brownies slide out effortlessly.
Check Doneness Carefully: Underbaking is your friend when it comes to brownies. Around the 20-minute mark, test the center with a sharp knife or toothpick. If they're not quite done, give them a few more minutes in the oven.
