FAQ
Can I use white chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
Yes, you can, but it will change the flavor profile. Use high-quality white chocolate for the best results.
How can I make these brownies gluten-free?
Simply substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the baking powder is also gluten-free.
Can I freeze the brownies?
Absolutely! Once cooled, wrap the brownies tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can be stored for up to 3 months.
What can I substitute for brown sugar?
You can use granulated sugar mixed with a bit of molasses or honey to replicate the texture and flavor of brown sugar.
How do I know when the brownies are done?
The brownies should be firm to the touch but still soft in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
