Ingredients
- 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 mini chocolate chips (optional, for extra gooeyness)
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners. If you want a truly crispy edge, lightly butter the edges of the muffin tin as well.
-
Prepare the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. If using, fold in the mini chocolate chips.
-
Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the brownie batter into the mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. For more crispy edges, you can overfill the cups slightly, as they will spread while baking.
-
Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). The edges should be golden brown and crispy.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie bites to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. For extra crispiness, you can let them cool completely in the tin.
-
Serve and Enjoy: These brownie bites are perfect for snacking, parties, or packing in lunchboxes. Serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent treat!
Notes
- If you don’t have a mini muffin tin, you can also bake these in a regular muffin tin, but adjust the baking time accordingly (longer baking time for regular-sized muffin cups).
- Feel free to swap out the mini chocolate chips for chopped nuts or a swirl of peanut butter for a fun variation.
- To get extra crispy edges, make sure you grease the muffin tin thoroughly and don’t be afraid to overfill the cups slightly.
