10 minutes

Need a quick dessert? Do you have 10 minutes? If so, these are for you.  Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it’s a rich dessert, indeed. Plus this is perfect for the summer when you don’t want to heat up the oven.

I can’t believe it’s been a full week since I’ve posted a recipe!  It wasn’t supposed to be that way, it’s been a rough week! I know that one of these brownies will make me feel much better.

10 Minute Brownies

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, cut into small pieces
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts or pecans

Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.

Place butter and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.  Heat on high for 1 minute.  Stir, if chocolate is not melted, continue to heat in 30-second increments until completely melted.

Crack eggs into a large bowl and beat well with a whisk.  Add sugar, mixing well.  In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add the melted chocolate mixture and the flour mixture to the egg mixture, alternating.  Beat the batter until well combined.

Pour into prepared pan.  Sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts over the batter.

Place baking dish in the microwave and cook on high for 5 minutes.  Let brownies rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

Is it bad that I’ve been eating these for breakfast?

Not bad at all, if you eat them for breakfast, they disappear faster and then I don’t have any!
