Notes
Nutrition information is based on 9 large brownies in one batch. I generally will freeze the 9 squares and then it's much easier to cut those in half. Those 18 rectangular pieces are still a generous size for a piece of brownie.
Storage: Brownies will stay good in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days, 2 week in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
