Small Batch Brownies
Make a small batch of extra chocolatey & fudgy brownies with this one-bowl Small Batch Brownies recipe for one... or two! These brownies have crackly tops and chunks of melted chocolate and are ready in less than 40 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sunflower oil
- 2 oz high-quality chocolate bar chopped (no chocolate chips - I recommend Lindt but Ghirardelli or your favorite high-quality chocolate brand)
- 3 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 extra-large egg room temperature (large or medium will work too but extra-large is best)
- 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1.5 oz high-quality chocolate bar chopped (again, no chocolate chips)
Makes: 6 x 6inch rectangle
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 6-inch pan with butter and flour with unsweetened cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the oil, chopped chocolate and unsweetened cocoa powder. Melt in two 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval. You're looking for a perfectly smooth mixture. If you don't have a microwave, you can also do this on a small saucepan over low heat. Allow the mixture to cool down slightly.
- Add the egg, sugar, and vanilla extract to a medium bowl. Beat on high until just foamy (30 seconds).
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and beat until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining chopped chocolate. Using a silicone spatula or a spoon, fold in the ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix! Immediately pour the batter into your prepared pan.
- Bake on the top rack of your oven for 18-20 minutes or until crackly on top. Fudgy brownies are slightly underbaked. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Notes
Storing Instructions: store the brownies covered or in an air-tight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. If your kitchen is hot, store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.
