Description
These Easy Fudge Brownie Bites are so easy, so fudgy and gone in two heavenly bites! Way better than any store bought bites and ready in under 30 minutes. What’s not to love?
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
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.
