Notes
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 to 5 days. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately for best results. You can add chocolate chips or different nuts for extra flavor. Don't overbake; they should be soft in the center.
