Bready or Not Original: Small Batch Cakey Brownies

Sometimes you just need a few brownies. That’s the perfect time for this Small Batch Cakey Brownies recipe.

These are not monstrously thick brownies. They are thin with a crackled top, with a nice, cakey moist crumb.

I created this recipe by combining about four other recipes, trying to find a middle ground recipe that my son would like. This is the one that turned out to be the winner.

Even better, I found out these brownies kept well for an entire week in a sealed container at room temperature–and who knows, maybe they could last a lot longer? In any case, there’s no urgent need to gorge on them lest they go bad.

These brownies are all about goodness.
