Recipe Tips
- Don't overmix the batter. This will make the brownies too chewy. Instead, mix the batter until it's just combined.
- For a different flavor, you can Add ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans straight to the batter. This will give the brownies a nice crunch.
- Experiment with milk, white, or even butterscotch chips.
- For a gluten-free version, try my nut butter oat brownies (which can also be made nut-free using sunflower butter).
How to store leftovers
- Refrigerate - Place in an airtight container or zip-top bag and store at room temperature or in the fridge for 4-5 days.
- Freeze - Place each brownie slice on a baking sheet in the freezer for 1-2 hours. Once they're slightly frozen, you can pop them into a freezer bag and freeze up to 3 months. The baking sheet method prevents them from sticking together.
