  • Cooking Method: Baking
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips

Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small ramekin or oven-safe mug.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter by heating it for about 30 seconds.
  3. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the melted butter. Stir until smooth.
  4. Mix in the egg yolk, blending well. No rogue egg whites allowed!
  5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. No over-mixing here, unless you’re aiming for a brick!
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips. Because more chocolate is always better.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin or mug.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes or until the top is set but still slightly fudgy in the center. A toothpick should come out mostly clean, with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let it cool for 5 minutes before diving in, if you can wait that long!

Suggestions

Go wild with your fudge brownie by adding nuts, white chocolate chips, or a swirl of peanut butter before baking. Top it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra layer of indulgence. To make it gluten-free, simply swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free alternative. Enjoy your brownie with a tall glass of milk or a shot of espresso for an experience worth repeating!
