• You can also sprinkle some chopped nuts or dried fruits on top of the brownie batter before baking for added texture and flavor.
• If you prefer a sweeter taste, increase the amount of maple syrup or add some agave syrup to the batter.
• To make these brownies gluten-free, use gluten-free baking powder or baking soda.
• Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Feel free to experiment with different nut butter options such as cashew butter or peanut butter for a unique flavor profile.
