Crinkle Top Brownie Bites
Description
This recipe uses melted butter mixed with sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of kosher salt for the chocolate base. After cooling, vanilla and eggs are incorporated to give structure and flavor. Flour is gently folded in along with chocolate chips to create a dense, thick batter.
Scooped into a well-greased mini cupcake tin, the batter bakes into small, fudgy brownie bites around 12-15 minutes until a glossy crinkle forms on top, a hallmark of this style. Their individual size makes them convenient for portion control or sharing.
The finished brownie bites can be easily removed by running a knife around the edge and cooling on a rack to set. Freezing is an option once cooled, allowing storage for weeks when kept in airtight containers or bags.
Using a nonstick mini muffin pan and thorough greasing prevents sticking and ensures clean release, while a 2-3 tablespoon cookie scoop enables even portions for uniform baking.
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 ¼ cups white sugar
- ¾ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 egg large
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray a mini cupcake tin with non-stick baking spray.
- Melt the butter in a medium pot. Once melted, add the sugar, cocoa power and salt and mix until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool for at least 10-15 minutes.
- Add the vanilla and eggs and combine. Add the flour and Chocolate chips until no more flour is visible.
- Using a spoon, scoop the brownie mixture into the mini cupcake tins and bake for 12-15 minutes. Run a knife along the edge of the mini Crinkle Top Brownie Bites to lift it out of the pan and let cool on a cooling rack before serving.
Notes
- Crinkle Top Brownie Bites can be frozen after baking and cooling; store in airtight bags or containers for several weeks.
- Use a nonstick mini muffin pan and coat well with nonstick spray to make removing brownie bites easy.
- Use a 2-3 tablespoon cookie scoop for consistent batter portions in each muffin cup.
