Helpful tips for the best results

Give your bulk mix a quick shake before measuring so everything stays evenly blended. Stir just until combined—overmixing can make brownies cakey.

For extra fudginess, pull them out when the center is just set. Let them cool a bit before slicing for clean edges.

Dairy‑Free
