Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.

- Bake the brownies in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
I cut these into 9 big squares, but you can also make 12 small 2x2 inch squares if you want a smaller treat to serve.
They can be stored in a covered container for a few days or sliced and frozen.
