Small Batch Skillet Brownie – this easy one bowl brownie recipe is the perfect dessert for two. It’s so rich and chocolatey and is the best brownie recipe!
It’s almost Valentine’s Day! Somehow it’s snuck up on me this year and I feel totally unprepared. I don’t think we’re going to do much, but I know there will be heart shaped pancakes. Jordan has dance that night so maybe Mel and I will be able to sneak in an hour-long date…but who knows. Such is the life as a parent, right?
There is pretty much only one thing I’m sure of when it comes to Valentine’s Day: Mel won’t eat a lick of dessert. I may get a box of chocolates…and I’ll eat them all myself. If I go to the trouble of making brownies or a pie it will just all end up on my hips…because I’ll be the only one eating it. That’s why I love making desserts for two…because really they’re for one because I can get away with eating the whole thing myself because it’s a small batch.
I think this ooey gooey small batch skillet brownie is the BEST dessert for two I’ve made – ever. It’s SUPER chocolatey, which makes it perfect for Valentine’s Day! And who knows…maybe I can talk Mel into grabbing that other spoon for just a bite…or two.
It’s not hard to take your favorite brownie or cookie recipe and turn them into a small batch dessert….if you’re good at math, that is. Did you know that I was a math major in college? And that I taught Algebra and Geometry to high school students for about 5 years? I don’t miss teaching (not one little bitty bit) but I do miss doing math. Proofs were my favorite, but give me a good old quadratic formula to solve and I’ll still dig right in.
The hardest part about dividing recipes into smaller portions is dealing with the eggs. It’s hard to divide an egg in half, so I especially like it when a recipe works out well enough that the small batch just uses a whole egg, like this one. The rest of it is just turning cups into tablespoons (1 cup = 16 tablespoons) and cups into ounces (1 cup = 8 ounces) and then doing some fractions and conversions, which I’ve gotten pretty good at over my blogging career.
This skillet brownie recipe turns out PERFECTLY and is the best dessert for two (or one…or even three), especially when you add ice cream on top.
