Pro Tips:
For a moister brownie, avoid overbaking. Baking time may vary depending on your oven, but typically takes 20-25 minutes. When testing with a toothpick, expect some crumbs. You can also add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
Fun Fact:
The brownie was accidentally invented in 1893 by a chef in Chicago who forgot to add leavening to his chocolate cake. The result was a dense, rich dessert that became a beloved classic.
