Notes
Oil: You could use a combination of half butter half oil, or all butter. I've found using butter results in more cake-like brownies.Make Ahead Instructions: Make brownies 1-2 days ahead of time and store covered in the refrigerator. Freezing Instructions: Baked and cooled brownies freeze well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, or on the counter.
