Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your brownies. Use a chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until they are just set: The brownies should be slightly gooey in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Serve the brownies with your favorite toppings: Ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh fruit are all great options.
  • Use a variety of dried fruits: In addition to apricots, you can also use other dried fruits in your brownies, such as raisins, cranberries, or cherries.
  • Add some nuts: Nuts can also be a great addition to brownies. Try adding chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds.
  • Make them gluten-free: For a gluten-free version of these brownies, use gluten-free flour.
  • Make them vegan: For a vegan version of these brownies, use vegan butter and eggs.
