title: Single Serve Brownie
servings: 1
ingredients:
  - 2 1/2 tbs (35 g) unsalted butter
  - 1/4 cup (52 g) packed brown sugar, light or dark
  - 1 large (18 g) egg yolk
  - 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  - 1 tbs (8 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  - 3.5 tbs (17.5 g) natural unsweetened cocoa powder, spooned and leveled
  - Pinch of kosher salt
  - 1 tbs (14 g) chocolate chips, optional
  - Cooking spray or butter, for greasing pan
instructions:
  - "**Preheat and grease** — Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Well grease a large (10 ounces to very top or about 4.25 inches wide across the top) with butter or cooking spray. Add a circle of parchment paper to the bottom."
  - "**Melt butter and sugar** — Add the butter and brown sugar to a microwave-safe medium mixing bowl and microwave for about 30 seconds or until the butter is melted. Use a fork or whisk to well stir the butter and sugar together to combine."
  - "**Mix yolk and vanilla** — Add the egg yolk and vanilla to the mixture and mix with a fork or whisk to well combine. The mixture should become lighter in color."
  - "**Fold in dry ingredients** — Add the flour, cocoa powder, and pinch of salt then fold together with a rubber spatula. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using."
  - "**Bake the brownie** — Add the batter to the ramekin (or divide between the muffin cups). Bake the ramekin for 24-26 minutes. The brownie is done when the edges are set and a toothpick in the center comes out with fudgy/moist brownie crumbs, but not wet batter."
  - "**Cool and enjoy** — Allow to cool and enjoy!"
