Small Batch Brownies Recipes

SMALL BATCH BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 9-by-5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the sugar and cocoa powder and cook, stirring often, until the mixture is melted and smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool slightly. (Alternatively, combine the butter, sugar and cocoa powder in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir, then microwave on high for another 30 seconds.)
• Stir in the salt and vanilla, then let the mixture cool for 1 minute more. Add the egg and stir until incorporated. Add the flour and stir for 50 brisk strokes.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the candy-coated chocolate candies on top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with fudge crumbs clinging to it and the surface is shiny and starting to crack, about 23 minutes.
• Let cool completely in the pan, then lift out using the parchment paper. Slice in half or into four pieces and serve.

ONE-BOWL SMALL-BATCH BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and line your loaf pan with parchment paper (if you don't care about lifting the brownies out of the pan, you can skip the paper).
• In a medium bowl, combine slightly cooled melted butter and granulated sugar and whisk until well combined. Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
• Add flour, sifted cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth it out so it covers most of the bottom. Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. For fudgier brownies, bake for 19-20 minutes and pull them.
• Cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before cutting. Enjoy!

SMALL BATCH BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Grease and line a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan with baking or parchment paper.
• In a large microwave-safe bowl, add butter and dark chocolate. Heat in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds, until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
• In a separate bowl, add egg, sugar and vanilla. Whisk using a hand whisk for 30 seconds, just until creamy and combined.
• Sift together flour, cocoa powder and salt. Add to melted butter mixture, along with the egg mixture. Stir gently using a spatula until a thick, smooth brownie batter forms. Gently stir through chocolate chips.
• Pour brownie batter into prepared pan and smooth out into one even layer. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or brownie no longer wobbles in the middle.
• Leave brownie in pan to cool completely. To prevent brownies from over baking on the edges while they cool, place brownie pan in a larger pan or container that's filled with an inch or two of cold ice water - this step is optional but I recommend trying it!
• Cut brownies into four rectangles or six triangles to serve. You can store brownies at room temperature or in the fridge. They also freeze really well.
