Craving brownies but don't want or need a whole pan? These small batch brownies are the answer! They are chewy and chocolatey and there is only enough for two!
Spray a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with non stick baking spray or line with a piece of parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg, sugar, melted butter and vanilla.
Add in dry ingredients including flour, salt and cocoa powder. Mix until smooth.
Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from the pan and allow to cool completely.
While cooling, prepare frosting by combining softened butter, cocoa powder and powdered sugar.
Add in enough milk or whipping cream to get a nice consistency, add in one tsp at a time.
Once brownies have cooled, frost and enjoy!

Notes
Variations:If you prefer, rather than frosting the brownies, you can top the batter with toffee bits, mini chocolate chips or M & M's before baking. You can always leave the brownies plain too. They are delicious plain, frosted or with candy added on top.I especially love them with a scoop of ice cream on top and some chocolate sauce drizzled over it.
