How to Make Double Chocolate Brownie Truffles (3 ways!)

Step 5: Add Flour

Gently fold in the oat flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6: Bake Brownies

Pour the batter into the prepared pan:
1. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.

Once cooled:
1. Cut brownies into small pieces.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When making Double Chocolate Brownie Truffles (3 ways!), it’s easy to overlook some key steps. Here are common mistakes to watch out for.

• Skipping the butter softening: Always ensure your butter is softened to room temperature. This helps create a smooth batter and better texture in your truffles.
• Not measuring ingredients accurately: Use precise measurements for baking. Incorrect amounts can lead to truffles that are either too dry or overly moist.
• Overmixing the batter: Mix just until combined. Overmixing can result in tough truffles instead of the desired fudgy texture.
• Ignoring cooling times: Allow your truffles to cool completely before coating them. This prevents the chocolate from melting and ensures a nice finish.
• Choosing the wrong chocolate: Always opt for high-quality dark chocolate chips or bars. The flavor of your truffles depends heavily on the quality of the chocolate used.
