Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (95g) all-purpose flour, sifted
- ⅓ cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-processed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin lightly or line with mini paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until combined and slightly glossy. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of each brownie bite.
- Spoon the batter into the mini muffin tin cups about ¾ full. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes until the gooey crust feels set but not hard and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to avoid cakey brownies. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Grease the pan well or use liners to prevent sticking. Let brownies cool in the pan before removing to preserve the gooey crust. Baking times may vary slightly; watch closely to avoid burning the crust.
