Notes
Store the dairy free brownies: Once the brownies have cooled completely to room temperature, place them in an airtight container for up to 3 - 4 days.
Tip:
Use the baking time as a guide rather than a strict rule. Signs a brownie is finished baking are a set center with baked edges that have slightly pulled away from the edge of the pan. A tooth pick inserted into the center of the brownie should come out with wet crumbs. If the batter comes out wet and shiny, bake the brownies for a few minutes longer and check again.
