Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: If you’re out of butter, you can substitute it with coconut oil or applesauce for a healthier twist. You can also use brown sugar instead of white sugar for a richer flavor.
- Optional Variations: Consider adding chocolate chips, nuts, or even a swirl of peanut butter to the batter for extra texture and taste.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Keep any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They can also be reheated briefly in the microwave for that freshly baked taste.
