Recipes FAQ

Can I use salted butter?

While unsalted butter is recommended for this recipe to better control the salt content, you can use salted butter if that's all you have on hand. Just skip the additional salt called for in the recipe.

Can I use a different size pan?

Using a different size pan will impact the thickness and bake time of your brownies. Adjust the baking time accordingly and keep an eye on the brownies to prevent over- or under-baking.

Can I freeze these brownies?

Yes! These brownies freeze well. Allow them to cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Recipe Tips

  • Be sure to measure your flour accurately using a kitchen scale or the spoon-and-level method to avoid dry or undercooked brownies.
  • Don't overmix the batter once you add the flour or you may end up with tough brownies.
  • For a cleaner cut, chill the brownies in the fridge for at least an hour before slicing.

Enjoy your delicious and easy chocolate brownies! Perfect for a quick dessert or snack.
