Tips for making the perfect fudgy single serve brownie
This single serve brownie recipe is not rocket science, but I want to make sure you are guaranteed a decadent and perfectly chocolatey brownie, so here are all the tips you’ll need to set you up for success:
Be super precise with your measurements
Use a high quality cocoa powder
Under bake the brownies slightly
How to store these single serve brownies
The goal is to have no leftovers, but if you want to save your second brownie bite for later, don’t worry–these stay soft and fudgy for days. Be sure to let the brownies cool completely first to prevent any condensation from accumulating when you store them. Store in an airtight container or plastic bag in the fridge for up to a week!
Happy brownie baking and more importantly, happy brownie eating!

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two standard size muffin cups with cooking spray or line with cupcake liners. Set aside.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Microwave for 30 seconds, then remove and stir with a whisk. Repeat if the butter is not full melted
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture lightens in color slightly.
Add in cocoa powder, flour, and salt and use a rubber spatula to fold together until no streaks of flour remain. If using chocolate chips, add the chocolate chips and fold to distribute.
Divide the mixture between your two prepared muffin cups and bake for roughly 18 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the edge is set, but a knife inserted into the middle still comes out with a bit of brownie batter on it.
Allow to cool slightly before eating!

Notes
If you prefer cakier brownies, use 1 egg white instead of 1 yolk!
These were delicious! As other reviews mentioned, I did cut down on the cocoa powder – to about 2.5tbs – and added just a dash of espresso powder. I baked mine for a few extra minutes than called for and they were perfect!
This was really good, great fudgy texture, and super easy and quick to make. Mine came out too salty however so next time I would cut down on the salt. Otherwise it was perfect.

Sofi, would this recipe work in an individual 3.5 inch iron skillet for use as an individual dessert for two people?
Loved the texture; it was not cakey. It had a nice moist middle!
I’ve made these brownies at least 5 times now. The perfect little treat for when you’re having a brownie craving!
