Expert Tip For Fudgy Brownies
First, make sure you follow the baking time and check the baking process after 40 minutes. Insert a pick in the center of the brownie. It should come out with a little sticky crumb but not too much. If you bake your brownie longer, it gets dryer and has a cake-like texture. Next, cool the brownie in the fridge to intensify the fudgy texture. Finally, don’t decrease the oil amount. Fudgy brownies have a higher fat to flour ratio.Less fat means less fudgy texture.
Storage Instructions
You can store these sweet potato brownies for up to 4 days in the fridge. It’s also possible to freeze sweet potato brownies in the freezer. My preferred way of doing that is to freeze each brownie square in its own zip-lock bag to make it easier to thaw.
