Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (or 325°F if using a nonstick pan).
  2. Line 12 regular-size muffin cups with paper baking liners or grease the bottoms with cooking spray or shortening. Alternatively, grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
  3. Place one brownie dough round into each prepared muffin cup (or arrange them evenly in the pan).
  4. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean. Let cool before serving.

Recipe Tips

For extra gooey brownies, bake on the shorter end of the time range.

Let brownies cool completely in the pan before removing for cleaner edges.

If using an 8×8 pan, you may need to add a few minutes to the bake time.
