One-bowl Small-batch Brownies
Description
The One-bowl Small-batch Brownies involve melting butter and mixing it with granulated sugar, followed by the addition of an egg and vanilla extract. Dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, sifted unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt are stirred in until just combined. No extra bowls or equipment are needed.
The batter is spread evenly in a greased or parchment-lined loaf pan and baked at 350°F for approximately 18 to 24 minutes. Baking time can be adjusted for fudgier brownies by baking closer to 16-20 minutes. The finished brownies have a dense texture, with moist crumbs that stick to a toothpick test.
After baking, the brownies should cool at least 10 minutes before slicing. The recipe yields eight small servings, ideal for a solo dessert or small group, minimizing waste and effort for fresh brownies with classic cocoa flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter melted and slightly cooled, salted, 2 oz
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar 100g
- 1 egg large
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 30g
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder sifted, 15g
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- 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 18 to 24 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. For fudgier brownies, bake for 16-20 minutes and pull them.
- Cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before cutting. Enjoy!
Notes
- The approximate nutritional value provided refers to one eighth of the batch.
