A quick and easy small batch brownie recipe that delivers rich, fudgy triple chocolate flavor perfect for two servings without leftovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tbsp (57g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp (25g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • ½ cup (65g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp espresso powder (optional)
  • 2 oz (57g) dark chocolate, finely chopped and melted
  • ¼ cup (45g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
  2. In a small bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and espresso powder (if using). Set aside.
  3. In a heat-proof bowl, combine melted butter and chopped dark chocolate. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. In another bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg until pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  5. Slowly pour the warm chocolate-butter mixture into the egg-sugar mixture while whisking gently until combined.
  6. Gradually fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks gently.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking at 18 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool the brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Do not overmix after adding flour to keep brownies tender. Check doneness early to avoid cakey brownies. Cooling completely before slicing is crucial for fudgy texture. Espresso powder enhances chocolate flavor without coffee taste. Variations include adding nuts, raspberries, or using vegan substitutions.
