Homemade Brownie Recipe Tips
- Mix the ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense and tough brownies. A few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.
- Choose the correct pan size as mentioned in the recipe below. Using a smaller pan will result in thicker brownies, while a larger pan may yield thinner ones. Adjust the baking time accordingly.
- Keep a close eye on the brownies while they're baking. They should be slightly undercooked in the center when you remove them from the oven. They will continue to cook as they cool down, resulting in fudgy and moist brownies.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into them. This will help them set and hold their shape.

Storing, Freezing and Reheating Tips
Pantry: Store your homemade brownies in an air-tight container or covered with plastic wrap or foil for about 4 days at room temperature.
Freezer: After the brownies have completely cooled, wrap each in plastic wrap then place into a zip top freezer bag or air-tight container for up to 3 months.
Top Recipe Tips
- Use room temperature eggs so they mix into the batter easily.
- Don't over bake the brownies! They will continue to cook as they cool on the wire rack.
- Let the brownies cool before cutting so they stay together better. The longer they set, the better they'll taste!

Use a metal pan for an evenly baked brownie! The metal pan conducts heat quickly and consistently, unlike a glass or ceramic dish.
