Brownie for one

By grammadot

Prep: 5 minutes Bake: 15 minutes
Makes: 1 large brownie
Need a self-rising flour substitute? Whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt. Measure out 2 tablespoons for the brownie. The remaining can be stored in an airtight container for future use.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons self-rising flour
• 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon cold coffee or water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

1 Arrange a rack in the middle of a toaster or regular oven; heat to 350 degrees. Brush a mini square or round metal pie pan with some of the melted butter.
2 Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, the sugars and cocoa powder in a small bowl until combined.
3 Add the wet ingredients: butter, egg yolk, coffee or water and vanilla. Stir to combine. Do not overmix.
4 Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Top with chocolate chips. Bake, 15 minutes for a gooey center or 20 minutes for a cakelike brownie. Cool, 5 minutes. Serve with ice cream, if you like.
