Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I like to preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) while I prepare my brownie mix according to the package instructions. After mixing until just combined, I pour the brownie batter into my greased springform pan and make sure to spread it evenly. It’s so satisfying to see that glossy chocolate mix fill the bottom of the pan! Once that’s done, I pop it into the oven for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. The smell wafting through my kitchen is divine! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
