I don’t think COVID lockdown is quite what Nigella Lawson had in mind by "emergency, " but nevertheless, I’m glad to have this small-batch brownie recipe in my arsenal this week.
I’ve always left out the nuts and sometimes sub honey for the syrup in a pinch. I also think her serving sizes are huge; this makes what I would consider four generous brownies.
Tonight’s batch:
My serving suggestion:
(That’s peanut butter, fyi. Not sure the photo conveys that clearly.)
Hey, I think it qualifies as an emergency. And a darn good excuse to make brownies! Those look so chocolaty and delicious! But you can have my share of the peanut butter.
Yes, I need to make these, maybe this weekend. We’d better devise an excersize plan now that I’ve got time to take up baking again. Stuck inside = snacking, snacking = more of me to love, lol.
Mmmm…brownies! Love that you added a dollop of PB to it…I’m sure the addition made it even more delectable 
I don’t know that her serving sizes are off…after all, emergencies do call for bigger brownies 
.
Yay comfort food!
Yum!!! They look so tasty.
Small batch cakes are a really good idea. I tend to lose interest in a cake after the first day or two
That looks yummy! (and I totally knew that was peanut butter!)
Thanks, all!
I’ll take it!
This is why I try not to keep the ingredients for these around all the time. One reason I typically use the maple syrup rather than corn syrup is because I can buy only as much as I need in bulk and use it up.
Fair 
. Truth be told, I usually get three servings out of this.
I love the small batch. My SO is not a big sweet person and since my typical take leftover baked goods to work isn’t a solution at the moment, a smaller batch is great!
Yes! If I can’t offload them, I can’t stay out of them.
I’m definitely going to make these! I was just kicking myself for not buying a package of brownie mix. But, I’m the only one in my house, so anytime I make a batch of something, I need to freeze part of it. I can’t eat a whole cake in a week… Well, I could, but I shouldn’t So, having a small batch option for the brownies is perfect. And, it’s making me think that I have a cookbook on small batch baking. I’ll have to go and look! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe link!
That’s the boat I find myself in (she says, having eaten too many of this weekend’s cookies today). These I can eat on for two or three days without the continued temptation. Though I have to be careful about not keeping all of the ingredients for them on hand all the time. . .
