Notes

For richer brownies, consider adding chocolate chips or nuts to the batter. Test the brownies a bit earlier than the suggested time to avoid overbaking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerate for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
