  4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Baking

  2. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cooling and Serving

  2. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

For gooey brownies, slightly underbake them. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for a week. Freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in microwave for 10-15 seconds for softness.
