  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, drizzle with half of the caramel sauce, and swirl together.
  7. Add the remaining batter on top, drizzle with remaining caramel, and swirl again.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick.
