Ingredients
- ▢ Cooking spray or mini muffin liners
- ▢ ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
- ▢ 1 cup granulated sugar
- ▢ 2 large eggs
- ▢ 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ▢ ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ▢ ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ▢ ½ tsp baking powder
- ▢ ¼ tsp salt
- ▢ 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- ▢ ¼ tsp flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Generously spray or line a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
- Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer on high speed to beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until well-combined and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed just until combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix again on low speed until just combined – don’t overmix! Use a spatula to scrape down the sides if needed.
- Fold in Chocolate: Gently fold the dark chocolate chips into the batter.
- Fill Tin: Fill each mini muffin cup about ¾ full with batter. A small cookie scoop works great here!
- Bake: Bake on the top oven rack for 15-17 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool & Finish: Let the brownie bites cool completely in the muffin tin before carefully removing them. If desired, sprinkle with flaky sea salt while they’re still slightly warm. Enjoy!
Notes
- Serving Suggestions: Delicious on their own! Or, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with melted chocolate, or serve alongside vanilla ice cream, a glass of cold milk, or hot coffee.
- Tips & Tricks:
- Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation.
- For the chewiest texture, be careful not to overmix once the flour is added.
- Cooling completely in the tin is key to preventing them from breaking when removed.
- Storage: Store cooled brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: Freeze cooled bites in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or gently reheat in the microwave for a warm treat.
