How Long Do Flourless Brownies Keep?

• Room Temperature – At room temperature, they will keep for around 4 days and up to a week in the fridge.
• Refrigerator – Once the brownies are cooled and cut, place them in an airtight container with layers separated by parchment.
• Freezer – You can also freeze brownies, wrap the slices individually in plastic wrap and foil and stack in an airtight container. They will be good for up to a month.

Tips for Making Flourless Brownies

• The toothpick test doesn’t work on flourless desserts. Instead, to ensure it’s thoroughly baked, do the touch test. If it bounces back to the touch, it’s ready! If it looks like jello in the center, add a little more time.
• Thoroughly grease baking dish before pouring mixture in. This is my go to baking spray.
• Store covered at room temperature or up to a week refrigerated.
