- Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. You can also substitute the chopped nuts with your favorite seeds if you want a nut-free version. If you prefer a sweeter treat, adding a tablespoon of sugar can enhance the overall taste. Ensure that the pan is well-greased to prevent sticking, and you can use parchment paper for easier removal.
Serving Suggestions
These brownies are delicious on their own but can be elevated with a drizzle of melted chocolate or a dusting of powdered sugar. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat. They also go wonderfully with a refreshing glass of Angel Punch for a delightful dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place a brownie in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to enjoy a warm, gooey texture. You can also serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
