Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake to maintain a fudgy texture.

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 equal squares.
