Can you freeze brownies?
Yes, you can freeze brownies! Be sure to cool them completely, then you’re welcome to freeze either the entire square of brownies, or cut into 12 servings and freeze them individually. Brownies can stay fresh in the freezer for 2-3 months. Wrap them in parchment paper then store them in a large ziplock freezer bag for best results. Another alternative is to bake the brownies in a foil pan. Once cooled, you can frost the brownies, let them cool again to set the frosting, then just cover the foil pan securely and place in the freezer.
Can I make cake-like brownies?
Yes, if you’d like more cake-like brownies, add in another 1/4 cup flour and an extra egg. Bake for 35 minutes and let cool before frosting.

What milk would you recommend to use for someone who is lactose-gluten free?

Have you Googled it? What milk do you generally drink? You can use Almond, Rice or even Cashew in this recipe.
Liz says
What kind of chocolate chips do you use for the frosting? Milk chocolate or Semi-sweet?
Jessica says
I use semi- sweet chocolate chips. Always. : )
Neena says
I notice there is no leavening agent in this recipe. So to be clear , there is no baking powder or baking soda in this recipe? That is interesting!
Jessica says
The eggs are the leavening agent. Try them- they’re amazing!

Loved these. I was out of granulated sugar so I replaced with coconut sugar. Excellent and fudgy!
Jessica says
Great idea, Janet!
