Description
These rich and fudgy chocolate brownies are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces or 4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup + 2 teaspoons semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (preferably kosher)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Vanilla ice cream or Homemade Whipped Cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Have two 6-ounce ramekins ready.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter and 1/2 cup chocolate chips, stirring often so it doesn’t burn.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in cocoa powder, sugar, and salt (batter will be a little grainy).
- Whisk in the egg and vanilla. Batter should smooth out.
- Switch to a rubber spatula and stir in the flour until moistened (do not overmix).
- Divide the batter evenly between the two ramekins. Place 1 teaspoon chocolate chips into the middle of each brownie; press the chips lightly into the batter.
- Bake 20-25 minutes or until the tops look dry and crisp (they will still be bubbly but the tops should be firm).
- Let cool for 15 minutes then serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
- These brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
