Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ

How to store leftover brownies?

These brownies store so well! Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days but you can store them in the fridge for longer. 

Can I freeze these brownies?

Place your cooled-down brownies in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow the brownies to thaw on the counter for a few hours before enjoying or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to heat them up faster.

What is the best thing to enjoy with this Starbucks brownies recipe?

These brownies are so rich on their own that they would be great as a sweet treat or with a cup of coffee! But here are a few other ideas on how to serve them and what to enjoy with them:

• Top with a scoop of ice cream. 
• Slice into bite-size pieces and mix into your ice cream. 
• Drizzle some caramel sauce on top of your fudgiest brownies. 

How Can I Get the Perfect Brownie Slices Every Time?

My best trick is to use a very sharp knife. Keep it in a tall glass of hot water then clean it with a paper towel before slicing it into your brownies.

Make sure to dip your knife in the hot/warm water in between each slice then clean it well so that you make sure that your slices through that decadent chocolate ganache always come out clean and SHARP!

Can I double this recipe?

Yes! You can double the ingredients in this Starbucks brownies recipe and bake them in a 9×13-inch pan. Just make sure to check the center of your brownies using a toothpick at the 28-30-minute mark to check for doneness. 

Can I substitute oil for the butter in this recipe?

The butter adds a ton of flavor to the brownies especially if you use high-quality butter, plus it makes these brownies extra fudgy.

The oil will change the texture of these brownies so I highly recommend you stick with the butter as suggested by the recipe card. If you do change up the ingredients be aware that the texture of your brownies might be slightly different!
