Notes

MEASUREMENTS:

Whilst I do provide the US cup measurements for the recipe, I always recommend using a kitchen weighing scale and using the weighted measurements instead. This will result in a more accurate process and your cake will come out perfectly.

TIPS:

Use Good Quality Ingredients: High-quality ingredients, such as the Oat Mylk Chocolate and Organic Cacao Powder I mentioned, can make a significant difference in the taste and texture of your brownies.

Slicing Tip: Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing. This helps them set and maintain their shape. You can even refrigerate them for a short while to make slicing easier. When slicing, use a sharp knife. To achieve clean and neat cuts, you can dip the knife in hot water and wipe it clean between slices.

Evenly Spread the Pecan Pie Topping: Ensure that the pecan pie topping is spread evenly over the par-baked brownie layer. This ensures a consistent flavour and texture throughout the brownies.

Dairy-Free & Vegan Options: For a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate, yoghurt and milk.
