How to Make Brownies For Two

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x4x2 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together 1/4 cup (57g) shortening and 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg, 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined. Stir in 1/4 cup (30g) chopped walnuts (optional).
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. (It's okay if it's not perfectly clean; brownies are best slightly fudgy!).
  8. Let the brownies cool in the pan for a few minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
