Main Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt Butter and Mix Cocoa and Sugar: In a saucepan, melt ½ cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in 1 cup granulated sugar and ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: When the butter mixture has cooled just enough to be warm but not hot, add 2 large eggs one at a time, stirring gently after each addition to fully incorporate. Then add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
- Incorporate Flour: Gently fold in ½ cup all-purpose flour, stirring just until combined with no visible streaks. Avoid overmixing to maintain the fudgy texture of the brownie batter.
- Prepare and Fill Mini Muffin Pan: Lightly grease a mini muffin pan to prevent sticking. Spoon the batter evenly into each cup, filling about ¾ full to allow space for rising during baking.
- Bake the Brownie Bites: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the prepared mini muffin pan inside and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft for perfect fudgy bites.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownie bites cool completely in the pan before carefully removing them. Serve at room temperature to enjoy the ideal fudgy texture.
Notes
- Do not overmix after adding the flour to maintain fudginess.
- Use a mini muffin pan for perfect bite-sized brownies.
- Allow the butter mixture to cool slightly before adding eggs to prevent curdling.
- Brownie bites can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for additional texture.
