I wanted chocolate, but didn't want to share or eat a whole batch by myself
so I did a little math, quartering this recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/ recipes/alton-brown/ cocoa-brownies-recipe/ index.html (which I had never tried before)
Small Batch Cocoa Brownies (modified from Alton Brown recipe)
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Grease or use cupcake liners in 4 openings of muffin tin
In a bowl, stir eggs thoroughly. add sugars and stir. add all other ingredients and stir until almost smooth.
Pour the batter into the 4 muffin cups (will fill each about 2/3 to 3/4 full) bake for about 30 minutes*. Check for doneness with the tried-and-true toothpick method: a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out clean. Remove from oven and let stand for a few minutes before digging in!
These came out rich and moist, with a little bit of chewy/crispy around the edges. If you like the crispy/chewy edges like I do, greasing the muffin cups would probably work better than paper liners. They will come out a lot cleaner if you let them cool, but we all know how hard that is :)
* I used my convection toaster oven, would probably take longer in a regular oven
(that's a saucer/desert plate :)
