Secrets to Making Moist 2-Ingredient Brownies
Use Pineapple and Its Juice
For this recipe, you need the entire can of crushed pineapple. The pineapple and juice provide moisture, so don't drain the can.
Mix the Brownie Batter Thoroughly
Stir the two ingredients together until there are no remaining pockets of dry brownie mix. Make sure the batter is evenly combined.
Don't Overbake Your Brownies
Check your brownies toward the beginning of the suggested baking range. They should be set in the center without wet, uncooked batter.
What Baking Pan Should You Use?
Use a lightly greased 9×13-inch baking pan. This is the pan size used in the BeSureToCook video instructions.
How Do You Know When Brownies Are Done?
Insert a toothpick near the center of the brownies. It should not have wet batter clinging to it. A few moist crumbs are okay.
