Brownie Bites
Description
The recipe melts butter and chocolate chips together to form a smooth base, then incorporates sugar and cocoa powder for sweetness and deep chocolate flavor. Eggs and vanilla bind and enrich the batter, while flour and salt balance the texture and overall taste. The batter is folded gently to combine ingredients without overworking, helping keep the bites tender.
Scooped into a greased mini muffin pan, the bites bake at 350°F for about 12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain moist, preventing a dry, crumbly texture. Cooling in the pan allows the brownies to firm up for easy removal, preserving their fudgy consistency. These bites suit casual snacking or dessert, convenient for portion control.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter unsalted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 2 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F and lightly coat a 24-cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, place the butter and chocolate chips, then microwave for approximately 1 minute until melted. Alternatively, you can use a bowl over simmering water, stirring until the melted mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add sugar and cocoa powder to the melted mixture, whisking until fully combined. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, and stir in the vanilla until combined.
- Add flour and salt and use a rubber spatula to fold together until no flour streaks remain.
- Using a medium spring-loaded cookie scoop, scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of the batter evenly into the muffin pan. Bake for 12 minutes or until the brownies are set on the sides, being careful not to over bake. Remember, the brownies will continue to set as they cool in the pan.
- Once baked, transfer the pan to a wire rack and allow the brownies to cool completely, about 30-45 minutes, before removing them from the pan.
