Small Batch Brownies

By srumbel

It only takes 6 ingredients (if you don’t have cooking spray just butter the pan, works just as good), one 8 by 4 loaf pan, a quick blend of ingredients and even the baking time is minimal since it’s such a small batch. My kind of brownies! You can adjust the recipe to suit your taste, if you are a more of a dark chocolate lover you’ll probably want to go with 1/4 cup cocoa as noted in the recipe.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup salted butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup flour*
• 3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spray a 8 by 4-inch bread pan (don't use a 9 by 5 or they'll be too thin) with non-stick baking spray.
Place butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat in microwave until 2/3 of the way melted, about 25 seconds. Mix in sugar, stirring until butter if fully melted, then mix in egg and vanilla extract. Add flour and cocoa powder and mix just until combined.
Pour into prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Bake in preheated oven until set, about 20 minutes.
*For a more richly chocolate brownie, use 1/4 cup cocoa powder and 3 Tbsp flour. I tested the brownies both ways, just make them according to personal preference.
