Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for added texture)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing it or lining with paper liners.
- Make the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract to combine.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder to ensure an even mixture.
- Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully combined and a thick chocolate batter forms.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently if using, to add extra texture and richness to the brownie bites.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the brownie batter into each mini muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds full to allow for slight rising during baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs, avoiding overbaking to maintain fudginess.
- Cool: Let the brownie bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Once cooled, serve these delicious bite-sized brownies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage for a perfect treat.
Notes
- Do not overbake to keep the brownies moist and fudgy.
- Paper liners make for easier removal and presentation but greasing the tin works well too.
- Chocolate chips are optional but add a nice texture contrast.
- Store cooled brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free variant, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
