Storage Tips

To keep your brookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you have leftovers, these treats can also be refrigerated for up to a week. Just be sure to let them come to room temperature before serving if you prefer them warm.

For longer storage, consider freezing your browkies. Cut them into squares and wrap them individually in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be kept in the freezer for up to three months, perfect for those moments when you want a sweet treat without the effort of baking!

Serving Suggestions

For an extra indulgent dessert, serve your brookies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The contrasting temperatures and textures will elevate your dessert experience to a whole new level. Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce for added sweetness, or top with whipped cream and a cherry for a classic touch.

If you're planning to share your treat at a gathering, consider cutting them into bite-sized squares. These smaller portions are not only easier to serve but also perfect for guests who love to sample a variety of desserts. Presentation matters, so consider arranging them on a decorative platter or serving with colorful napkins for an inviting display!
