Six fudgy cocoa brownies baked in a 5-inch dish, with pecans if you like.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F and butter a 5-inch square or 4x6-inch baking dish.
  • In a bowl, stir the melted butter and sugar together. Add the egg and vanilla and stir until glossy.
  • In another bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Fold it into the butter mixture just until combined.
  • Fold in the pecans, if using, and spread the batter in the dish.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is set and the middle is still soft and fudgy. Let them cool before cutting into 6 brownies.
