Notes

Pro Tips: Measure your ingredients accurately to ensure the best results. Avoid over-mixing the batter to keep the brownie tender.
Ingredient Substitutions: You can use almond milk instead of regular milk, and coconut oil in place of vegetable oil for a different flavor profile.
How to Serve: Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Storage & Freshness: This brownie is best enjoyed immediately after microwaving. If needed, reheat for a few seconds to restore warmth.
Make-Ahead Tips: Pre-measure your dry ingredients in a small baggie for quick assembly whenever the craving strikes.
