Description

One single serve large extra fudgy brownie with chunks of melty chocolate and thin a thin crackly top.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 TBSP (55g) Salted Butter
  • 1/4 C (50g) Dark Brown Sugar (light is ok too)
  • 1/4 C (50g) Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Lg Egg, at room temp
  • 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 C (25g) Dutch Process Cocoa Powder
  • 3 TBSP (25g) All Purpose Flour
  • 1/8 tsp. Baking Powder
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 1.5 oz Dark Chocolate Bar, chopped
  • Optional – Flaky salt for top


Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a 4″ square pan. (for other pan options see notes)
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, melt the butter and let cool slightly.
  • Whisk in the sugars and vanilla extract until combined. 
  • Add the egg and whisk for at least 1 minute, or until the mixture becomes glossy and lightens in color.
  • Use a spatula to fold in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
  • Fold in the chopped chocolate.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Optional- top with a sprinkle of flaky salt.
  • Let the brownie cool enough to handle, remove from pan, and enjoy.

Notes

*I love this 4″ square baking pan with a removable bottom for baking this brownie, but you can bake it in any 4″-6″ round or square pan. I suggest using metal if possible or glass. Avoid cast iron, as it is difficult to get the brownie to bake evenly. 

*If you use a 4″ (round or square) pan, bake for 28-30 minutes as instructed. If you use a 6″ pan, the brownie will be thinner and may only require 24-26 minutes of bake time.
