Equipment
- 1 mini muffin tin lined with paper liners
- 1 microwave-safe bowl
- 1 Whisk
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Centers
- 24 chocolate chunks or pieces
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, melt the butter and combine with sugar, whisking until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners and fill each cup two-thirds full with the batter.
- Place a chocolate chunk in the center of each batter-filled cup, pressing it slightly into the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Remove from oven and let cool in the tin for a few minutes.
Serving
- Transfer brownie bites to a wire rack. Serve warm for a gooey center experience, optionally paired with ice cream or topped with powdered sugar.
Storage
- Store cooled brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
