Can I substitute normal sugar for the brown sugar?

Community Answer

Yes, but the texture will be different and you won't get the golden-brown color.

Question

Can I make brownies in a plastic dish?

Community Answer

Only if it has supporting edges to form the shape. Try using a china or glass cup or bowl for this instead of plastic so you don't have any plastic residue in your brownies.

Question

How would I add flavoring without vanilla extract?

Carmilly

Community Answer

You have to use vanilla extract, unless you are planning on using a vanilla bean. Without it, your brownies would taste a bit too much like cocoa.

Question

Can we make it without salt?

Community Answer

Yes, salt is optional but does enhance the flavor and assist with slightly longer preservation. You can add more sugar if you want more flavor in your brownies.

Question

My batter isn't smooth like the picture, I checked all my ingredients when I put it in my bowl. Did I do something wrong?

Community Answer

If you use coarse-grain sugar, it will appear grainy and not very smooth.
