Notes

Baking times will vary depending on the true oven temperature, location, and more.
Use good quality ingredients when baking and check the freshness of the ingredients too.
Once cooled, you can easily store your brownies in an airtight container at room temperature. If properly sealed, your brownies should keep fresh for up to four days. You can also wrap your brownies in plastic wrap for added freshness.
