Brownies are popular for a reason (check out this article to learn about the invention of brownies). But sometimes you want a delicious, fudgy, brownie but don’t want a whole pan. That’s where this single serve brownie recipe comes in. You can make brownies for just one person. And you don’t need a special individual brownie pan, you just need an 8oz ramekin to make a delicious individual brownie. Enjoy!
Single Serve Brownie Recipe
Indulge in the ultimate solo treat with this delicious brownie (for just one person)! Savor the rich chocolaty goodness and fudgy perfection, all in one delightful, easy-to-make serving.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8oz ramekin and set aside.
- In a small bowl melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the 1 1/2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
- Stir in the 1 1/2 tablespoons plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/8 teaspoon vanilla.
- Add the 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and stir just until combined. Pour the brownie batter into the ramekin.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few fudgy crumbs (shouldn't have liquid batter on the toothpick).
- I recommend serving this warm with whipped cream or ice cream on top!
Notes
For additional chocolaty goodness, I recommend adding 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips. Just fold them in after you add the flour.
You can also add additional crunch by putting in 1 1/2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts. Fold them in after you have added the flour.

How to Dress Up Your Single Serve Brownie
While I think this brownie is perfect just the way it is, you can definitely mix things up to make it even more decadent and delicious.
- Make frosted brownies by whipping up this single serving chocolate frosting or small-batch cream cheese frosting.
- Add chocolate chips, butterscotch chips or peanut butter chips to your brownies. Just fold in 2 tablespoons after you’ve mixed in the flour.
- Add crunch by putting nuts in the batter. Fold in 1 to 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts) after you’ve mixed in the flour.
- Make a brownie sundae by topping your brownie with ice cream and chocolate syrup or hot fudge. (check out my easy single-serving chocolate syrup recipe).
- Warm up a little bit of peanut butter and drizzle it over the top.
- Add a fruity twist by topping with berries such as blueberries, raspberries or chopped strawberries.
- Anything else you can think of!
