Brownie Bites
Brownie Bites are rich, fudgy mini brownies baked in a mini muffin pan—perfectly portioned for snacking, parties, or lunchbox treats. With chewy edges and gooey centers, these bite-sized treats deliver all the indulgence of classic brownies in a fun, poppable form
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup chocolate chips or chunks optional
- Optional toppings: sea salt sprinkles, chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan or line with paper liners.
- Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla, whisking until smooth. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.
- Add mix-ins: Fold in chocolate chips or other desired mix-ins.
- Scoop into pan: Spoon batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake: Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Cool: Allow brownie bites to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Enjoy as-is or garnish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or sea salt.
Notes
- For extra fudgy bites, underbake slightly and let cool completely before serving.
- Add a mini peanut butter cup or caramel square to each center before baking for a surprise filling.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days.
- Great for freezing—wrap tightly and freeze up to 2 months.
