Single Serve Brownie
A rich and fudgy single serving brownie baked in a ramekin with cocoa powder and real chocolate. Easy one-bowl recipe ready in about 30 minutes.
Servings: 1 large brownie
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 large egg yolk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons salted butter -melted, plus ¼ tablespoon more for greasing the ramekin
- ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: ice cream for topping
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and cocoa powder.
- Stir in the egg yolk, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Lightly butter a 10-ounce ramekin and pour in the batter, spreading evenly.
- Place ramekin on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes.
- Let cool for about 5 minutes before enjoying. Eat as-is or topped with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Use quality chocolate: Choose good chocolate chips or bars for richer flavor. Ghirardelli, Guittard, and Scharffen Berger are excellent; Trader Joe’s and 365 by Whole Foods are great budget options.
- Measure flour correctly: Spoon and level the flour instead of scooping to avoid dry or cakey brownies.
- Don’t overmix: Stir just until combined to keep the brownie soft and fudgy.
- Avoid overbaking: Bake about 30 minutes. The brownie will continue to set as it cools, giving you a moist, gooey center.
