Notes
Tips!
- Try not to over mix the batter – One thing I have found with this recipe is that it is more cake-like in texture if you over mix the batter. There is nothing wrong with that at all, they’re still just as delicious! But if you’re wanting more of a dense or fudgy brownie, try to mix the batter just enough so everything is combined without overdoing it!
- Give the brownies time to cool – It can be tempting to slice into these cookies straight out of the oven but it’s best to give them a few minutes to firm up and cool. They’ll be more dense and less likely to fall apart once slightly cooled! I find that 25-30 minutes is the perfect amount of time to allow the brownies to cool.
- Mix in some white chocolate – I love love LOVE adding white chocolate to my brownies! Add in half dark and half white chocolate chips for the ultimate, delicious low calorie brownie!
