Brownie for One!
"Chocolaty indulgence at in it's simplest form! ((for a lower-calorie version, replace sugar with Splenda or other artificial sweetener, and replace 1 tablespoon of oil with applesauce. This eliminates around 300 calories- if you're afraid of losing flavor, try one or the other variation or replacing just half the sugar))"

I don't have or want a microwave. At what temperature and for how long would I bake this?

What a great concept. I enjoyed this single-serving brownie every bit as much as I enjoy those that come from an entire batch. I made mine in a custard cup though, so it would look a little more appetizing than one that was sitting in the bottom of deep coffee mug. Thanks, TinkerToy. Made for 2009 Fall Pick-A-Chef. -
I actually fixed this in my airfryer at 350? for 15 minutes. It turned out perfect! Just let it cool for a little bit -
Yum! Try adding some PB2 powder to the mix and a few dark chocolate chips to the top!

The brownie was grainy and it didn't cook entirely, it started to burn after ~60 seconds. It still tastes good, but its not the brownie texture I was hoping for.

Yumm! The perfect mixture for when I want something sweet, but not an entire pan. Made just as directed.

The original recipe was grainy and too many calories. I substituted applesauce (2 tablespoons) for the oil, which saves you 220 calories, NOT 300, but it helps a ton on the fat content. The texture was wonderful and creamy but I couldn't escape the tart tang of the applesauce. I tried again, but this time chopped up one small square of dark chocolate (I used TCHO, but you could use Bliss or Godiva) and I chopped up three frozen dark cherries. I added this, along with the usual coco powder/apple sauce/sugar/flour/water/vanilla and the results were awesome. Dark chocolate cherry brownie! I also mixed it in one bowl and then transferred it to a small glass bowl sprayed with non stick spray. After letting the brownie cool for a few minutes, I ate it from this dish, but could have easily slipped it to a plate where you could spiff it up like a very fancy dessert. The next time I make this I'm going to do the applesauce but will add a small crushed candy cane. -
This was great. I substituted carob powder for the cocoa and got a very delicious carob brownie. Just what the doctor ordered for a caffeine sensitive person.

There are never enough options for single-serving recipes. It's my goal to gather as many recipes for one as possible and get them out to my fellow live-aloners!
