Notes

To enhance the chocolate flavor, consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to the batter. For fudgier brownies, reduce flour and add an extra egg yolk. Brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to four days or frozen for three months. Experiment with add-ins like nuts, caramel, or peanut butter for variety and depth in flavor. Always allow brownies to cool fully to make cutting easier and enhance texture.
