Get the Recipe: Small Batch Brownies
These small batch brownies are fudge like, gooey and so easy! They bake for only about 15 minutes. This recipe makes 8 perfectly delicious brownies!
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp flour, all purpose or gluten free 1 to 1 flour
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- chocolate chips, to sprinkle in
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch by 4 inch bread pan with parchment paper.
- First, add melted butter and chocolate chips. Stir until completely creamy. Set aside.
- In a bowl, add sugar and egg. Whisk vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes, until mixture is light and frothy.
- Then, pour melted chocolate mixture into bowl. Stir until combined.
- Add in cocoa powder, flour and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Then, add in more chocolate chips. I added in about ½ cup.
- Add brownie batter to lined bread pan.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out with only moist crumbs.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow brownies to cool for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use a high quality chocolate chip brand. This is the main flavor of the brownies so it is important.
- I do not recommend using sugar free chocolate chips. The brownies will be somewhat bitter and will not have those shiny tops.
- Stir melted butter and chocolate chips until completely creamy. If needed, microwave for 10 to 15 seconds to become fully melted.
- Use an 8 by 4 inch bread pan. Unfortunately a 9 by 5 inch bread pan is a little too large and creates very thin brownies.
- Bake only until the center looks set. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean with only a few moist crumbs.
- Store brownies covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Brownies freeze well.
