  5. Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out evenly.

  8. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan, then cut into squares and enjoy.

Notes

Substitute sugar with coconut sugar or alternatives for a healthier option. Monitor baking time as ovens can vary. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Freeze in an airtight container for up to three months.
