Notes

For a vegan version, swap the butter for coconut oil and use flax eggs. For gluten-free brownies, use a high-quality almond flour or a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. To store, keep the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the fridge for up to a week. Freeze individual squares for up to three months.
