What Do I Need to Make Easy Bowl Brownie Bites?

Ingredients:

Unsalted butter: provides richness, moisture, and helps with the fudgy texture. Melting it with chocolate also creates a smooth base. You can substitute with a salted butter, but you would need to adjust the added salt unless you want them extra salty.
Semi-sweet chocolate chips: they give deep chocolate flavor and contribute to that fudgy chew. You can substitute with milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips, if desired.
Granulated sugar: sweetens the brownie bites, but also helps create that shiny crackly top by bonding with the eggs. You can substitute with brown sugar which will make them even moister and a little chewier.
Eggs: bind everything together and add structure while also keeping them rich. They’re key to the shiny top when beaten with the sugar.
Vanilla extract: enhances the chocolate flavor and gives warmth.
All-purpose flour: provides structure and keeps them from being too gooey.
Kosher salt: balances the sweetness and sharpens the overall chocolate flavor. If you substitute with table salt, use slightly less since it’s finer. A little flaky sea salt sprinkled on top before or after baking would give you a fancier finish.
Baking powder: gives a little lift so the brownie bites aren’t too heavy.
Unsweetened cocoa powder: boosts chocolate intensity without extra sweetness. It also balances the melted chocolate.

Supplies:

How to Make Brownie Bites

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 24-cup mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Place the butter and chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 60 to 90 seconds, whisking every 30 seconds, until the chocolate chips are melted and smooth.
Whisk in the sugar, then add the eggs, one at a time, and stir until smooth. Stir in the vanilla.

Add the flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa powder, and stir until well incorporated. Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one almost full.
Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, rotating the pan halfway through the baking time. Try not to overbake! Pulling the brownie bites out when a toothpick has moist crumbs is the secret to fudgy bites instead of cakey ones.
Tip for Perfect Fudgy Brownie Bites: For that rich, fudgy texture, remove the brownie bites when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. They’ll finish setting as they cool. If the toothpick comes out completely clean, they’ll end up more cake-like. If it’s still coated with wet batter, bake a little longer and test again until you see just a few moist crumbs.

Remove the brownie bites from the oven. Let the brownie bites cool completely in the pan. To remove, run a sharp knife around the edge of each bite and pop it out of the muffin cup.

How to Store Easy Fudge Brownie Bites

Store leftover brownie bites in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. If stored in the refrigerator, I’d suggest letting them come to room temperature before serving. Leftover brownie bites can also be heated in the microwave for 5-10 seconds to warm them up before enjoying again.

To freeze, I recommend wrapping them individually in plastic wrap. Then place in a freezer-safe container or in individual freezer-safe baggies to store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

To defrost frozen brownie bites, let them set at room temperature for 1-2 hours, loosely covered, so they don’t absorb too much of the moisture.
