Troubleshooting FAQ
Why are my brownies dry?
Your brownies may be dry if you overbaked them or didn’t add enough wet ingredients, such as butter or eggs. Try adding a little more melted butter or an extra egg next time.
Why are my brownies too fudgy or raw in the center?
Your brownies may be too fudgy or raw in the center if you underbaked them or added too much moisture, such as from adding extra chocolate chips. Try baking the brownies a little longer or reducing the amount of chocolate chips used.
Why did my brownies turn out flat?
Your brownies may have turned out flat if you didn’t add enough leavening, such as baking powder, or overmixed the batter. Be sure to add the proper amount of baking powder and mix the batter until just combined.
Can I add nuts or other mix-ins to my brownies?
Absolutely! Feel free to add chopped nuts, chocolate chunks, or other mix-ins to your brownie batter before baking for added flavor and texture.
Can I use a different size pan?
Sure! Using a different size pan will affect the baking time and thickness of your brownies. Adjust the baking time accordingly and keep an eye on the brownies to ensure they are fully cooked.
