Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

- Remove from oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
- Once cooled, slice the brownies into squares and serve as desired. Enjoy with a scoop of ice cream or a glass of milk.
Storage
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
