Butter serves multiple purposes in brownies. The first, and probably most obvious, is that it adds a delicious depth of flavor to the batter.
Additionally, the lactic acid in the butter reacts with the leavening agent (aka baking powder) in the brownies, resulting in a lighter texture.
Tips and Precautions

- Check for doneness. To make sure the brownies are done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, then they’re good to go!
