I am always on the lookout for recipes that are for 2. I found this recipe in a little paperback cookbook "Desserts for One or Two". The recipe calls for walnuts, but any nut will do, and I even substitute different types of chips (chocolate, peanut butter, mint, etc.). It makes 8 brownines, therefore we never get tired of them before the batch is gone. Hope you enjoy.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/4 cup shortening
3 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 large egg
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
2
Cream shortening and cocoa.
3
Beat in egg, sugar and vanilla.
4
Combine the dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture.
5
Beat until combined and then stir in walnuts.
6
Spread mixture into a greased 8x4x2 loaf pan.
7
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.

Absolutely delicious! and easy to make as well. My husb. loved these, and I'm going to make them again this weekend. I used a blend of 1/2 sug.//1/2 splenda, 1/3 cup eggbeaters instead of the large egg, 1/4 cup Smart Balance buttery spread instead of shortening and baked it in my Cuisinart oven for 21 mins. #350. Thank you for the great recipe!

Usually when I bake (cakes, cookies, whatever), the leftovers stay around forever, getting hard and crusty. This was perfect for just a little dessert after dinner. I will definetely make this again, and search'Zaar for other small-batch baking recipes. Thanks for the posting!

This was DH's first baking attempt, but I got to eat them, so I'm doing the review. These were nice and cakey and fudgy. I took them out of the oven on the early side to keep them moist. You have to be careful to really smooth them out in the pan before cooking because they don't 'melt' out to be smooth, but they are delicious nonetheless, regardless of presentation. We spread them with a little chocolate icing and attacked the pan with two forks. What a nice treat to have a dessert for two.

Loved, loved, loved them! They are moist and chewy but best of all they only make 8. I baked them in a non-stick loaf pan. The timing was perfect. The only change I made was using chopped pecans instead of the walnuts. These go in my Then There Were 2 Cookbook!
