When you're in the mood for something chocolatey but don't want to make a big batch, these Small Batch Brownies are ideal. They are incredibly simple to make, rich, and fudgy.
Ingredients: 1/4 cup 4 tablespoons unsalted butter. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1/8 teaspoon salt. 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 large egg. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup chocolate chips optional.
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 175 degrees Celsius and line a small, roughly 6 by 6 inch baking pan with parchment paper. The butter should be melted in 20-second increments in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the salt, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar to the melted butter and stir until thoroughly mixed. Mix in the large egg and the vanilla extract until the batter is smooth. Add the all-purpose flour and fold gently until no flour streaks are visible. Take care not to blend too much. To add even more chocolate flavor, feel free to fold in the chocolate chips. Transfer the brownie mixture into the baking pan that has been preheated and level it out. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes in a preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges with a few moist crumbs still attached. After taking the brownies out of the oven, allow them to cool in the pan for a short while. After the brownies have cooled down a bit, carefully lift the parchment paper and take them out of the pan. Transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Cut the brownies into four or five pieces, then dig in!
