Notes
You can use a 9x13 baking dish if you prefer thinner brownies. You will need to adjust the baking time since the batter will be thinner in the pan.
Substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour if desired.
Reduce the sweetness and only use 1/2 cup sugar.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5 days.
