Notes

Feel free to customize these brownies with add-ins such as nuts, chocolate chips, or spices for a flavor twist.
To make them paleo-friendly, substitute almond flour for regular flour and coconut sugar for standard sweeteners.
These brownies can also be made without eggs—try using flaxseed meal or mashed banana as a binder.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days, or freeze wrapped portions for up to three months.
Enjoy experimenting with toppings, like crushed nuts or a drizzle of nut butter for added flavor!
