Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Semisweet chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts or additional chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small, 5x5-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and melted.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix well until smooth and glossy.
Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir gently until just combined and no streaks of dry ingredients remain.
Fold in the chopped nuts or additional chocolate chips, if desired, for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly underbaked for a fudgy texture.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the baking dish for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your brownies warm or at room temperature with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce, if desired.
