Brownie Bites 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 over low heat, melt ½ cup of unsalted butter. Once fully melted, remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in 1 cup granulated sugar and ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: When the butter mixture has cooled just enough to remain warm but not hot, add 2 large eggs one at a time, stirring gently to fully incorporate each egg. Then add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix thoroughly to blend all flavors.
- Incorporate Flour: Carefully fold in ½ cup all-purpose flour, stirring just until the batter is combined and no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to over-mix to maintain the fudgy texture of the brownie bites.
- Prepare and Fill Mini Muffin Pan: Lightly grease a mini muffin pan to prevent sticking. Spoon the prepared batter into each mini muffin cup, filling about three-quarters full to allow space for the brownies to rise during baking.
- Bake the Brownie Bites: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the filled mini muffin pan into the oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes. The brownie bites are done when the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft, indicating a fudgy interior.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baked brownie bites from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan. Once cool, gently remove them from the pan and serve at room temperature to enjoy their fudgy texture at its best.
Notes
- Do not over-mix the batter after adding flour to ensure a fudgy texture.
- Use a mini muffin pan for perfectly sized bite-size brownies.
- Check the brownies at 12 minutes to avoid overbaking; centers should be slightly soft.
- Allow brownie bites to cool in the pan before removing to prevent breaking.
- These bites can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
