How To Determine When Your Brownies Are Perfectly Baked?
While I've consistently baked these brownies in around 20 minutes, oven performance can differ, so it's good to have multiple ways to check for doneness. Use a Timer: Typically, these brownies take between 20-25 minutes to bake. Start by setting a timer for 20 minutes so you can monitor them closely as they near completion. Toothpick or Knife Test: To see if the brownies are done, insert a toothpick or the tip of a sharp knife into the center. If it comes out with wet batter, they need more time. If it comes out clean, they're ready. Visual Cues: Ideal brownies will appear slightly underbaked in the center, as they continue to cook while cooling. If the edges are dry and the middle looks a bit underdone, it's time to take them out of the oven.
