Instructions:

  4. Combine Flour and Cocoa:

    • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and cocoa powder to remove any lumps.

    • Gradually add the flour-cocoa mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Tips for Success:

  • Ensure your microwave-safe glass pie pan is suitable for high-temperature cooking.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your microwave’s wattage to avoid overcooking.
  • For a fudgier texture, slightly undercook the brownies rather than overcooking them.
  • Experiment with toppings like whipped cream, ice cream, or chocolate sauce for added indulgence.
