Notes
Use a high-speed food processor for these brownies to get the smoothest texture.
Store these brownies in the fridge so they firm up and stay fresh longer.
Add in any of your favorite brownie mix-ins like extra chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, nuts, banana, a drizzle of nut butter on the top, or even dried fruit.
