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 baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
For Baking
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the brownies develop crispy edges during baking.
- Mix Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth, ensuring the sugar begins to dissolve and combines well.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the two large eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined and the batter is slightly fluffy.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips if using them. This adds extra bursts of chocolate in every bite.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are set and the edges have become crisp. The brownie centers should still be soft but fully cooked.
- Cool: Allow the brownie bites to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them. Then transfer to a wire rack and let them cool completely for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra crispy edges, use a dark metal mini muffin pan and avoid using paper liners to maximize crispiness.
- Store leftover brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature; they will keep well for 3 to 4 days.
