Recipe Notes
- For quick and easy clean-up, line the baking dish with parchment paper or foil. This also allows for you to easily remove and cut brownies by lifting them out.
- Ensure eggs are room temperature, you can put them in a glass of warm water if you’ve forgotten to take them out early.
- Do not overcook, brownies should be cooked until a toothpick 1-inch from the edge of the pan comes out with just a few crumbs attached. They can and should be a little bit gooey in the middle.
- Make sure the brownies are completely cooled before cutting.
- Line the pan with foil first, this makes the brownies easy to lift out before cutting.
- Use a plastic knife if you have one, the brownies won’t stick to a plastic knife. A regular knife can be sprayed with oil or cooking spray before cutting the brownies.
