• Melt the butter and sugar together – This helps create that signature crinkly top, so don’t skip it!

• Don’t overmix the dry ingredients – Gently fold them in until just combined to keep the brownie soft and gooey.
• Use good-quality cocoa powder – A rich, high-quality cocoa makes all the difference in flavour.

How to make One Bowl Single Serve Fudgy Brownie Skillet?

Step 1: Melt the Butter and Sugar

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and sugars together for about 20–30 seconds until the butter is fully melted. Whisk until smooth.

Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients

Whisk in the oil, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes light and slightly fluffy.

Step 3: Sift and Mix Dry Ingredients

Sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gently fold them into the wet mixture until just combined and be careful not to overmix.

Step 4: Add Chocolate Chips (Optional)

Fold in chocolate chips if using for extra gooeyness.

Step 5: Pour into Skillet

Lightly grease a 5″ mini skillet and pour the batter in, spreading it evenly.

Step 6: Bake

Bake in a preheated oven at 165°C (329°F) for 18–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 7: Let It Cool & Serve

Let the brownie cool slightly as it will continue to set. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different sugar?
You can! Granulated sugar can be used instead of caster sugar, and dark brown sugar can replace soft brown sugar. Since brown sugar adds moisture, omitting it may make the brownie slightly less chewy before baking.

How do I store leftovers?
Leftovers? Unlikely! But if you do have any, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. Warm it up in the microwave for that fresh out of the oven taste.

How do I know when it’s baked perfectly?
Insert a toothpick in the centre. It should come out with a few moist crumbs, not completely dry.

Can I freeze it?
Yes! Bake the brownie, let it cool, then wrap tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave for 30–45 seconds to enjoy warm.

Can I add toppings after baking?
Absolutely! Try ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or a sprinkle of nuts for an indulgent touch.
