Frequently Asked Questions

2. How do I store leftover strawberry brownies?
Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
3. Can I make these brownies gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.

Overmixing the batter or overbaking can lead to a cakey texture. Mix just until combined.
