Save to Pinterest Recipe FAQs
- → What type of chocolate chunks are included?
Both dark chocolate chunks with at least 60% cocoa and milk chocolate chunks are folded into the batter for rich chocolate bursts.
- → How can I make the brownies fudgier?
Baking nearer the lower end of the 28–32 minute range yields a more moist and fudgy texture.
- → Can these brownies be made vegetarian?
Yes, the ingredients used here are vegetarian-friendly, containing no meat or gelatin.
- → What does folding the dry ingredients in gently accomplish?
Gently folding prevents overmixing, helping maintain a tender, dense texture rather than a tough crumb.
- → Are there any suggestions to enhance the chocolate flavor?
A pinch of instant espresso powder can be added to intensify the chocolate notes without altering sweetness.
