Description

This Small Batch Brownies recipe delivers rich, fudgy chocolate brownies perfect for a quick, satisfying dessert. Made with simple pantry ingredients and baked in a compact loaf pan, these brownies are easy to prepare and serve, ideal for when you want a sweet treat without making a large batch. Optional chocolate chips, vanilla ice cream, and a white chocolate drizzle elevate the flavor and presentation.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)

For Serving (optional)

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • White chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan (8×4-inch) or a small square pan with parchment paper, ensuring you leave a slight overhang for easy brownie removal later.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Then add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully incorporated.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt to remove lumps and ensure even distribution. Gently stir these dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until no dry streaks remain; avoid overmixing to keep brownies tender.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips (optional): If using, fold in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter for delightful pockets of melted chocolate.
  5. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 22–26 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10–15 minutes to set. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan, slice into 6 pieces, and serve warm. For an extra special touch, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.

Notes

  • For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake and let cool completely before cutting.
  • You can add chopped nuts or swirl in peanut butter for a delicious variation.
