Bite-Sized Brownies
Equipment
- 1 mini muffin tin
- parchment paper
- mini muffin liners
Ingredients
- 4 oz. Unsweetened chocolate chopped
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Mix-ins (optional) such as mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or anything else you’d like to add for a bit of extra flavor and texture
Instructions
- Prep Your PanPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your mini muffin tin with liners or grease them lightly with butter or non-stick spray. This ensures your brownies won’t stick and are easy to pop out after baking.
- Melt Chocolate and ButterIn a microwave-safe bowl, combine your unsweetened chocolate and butter. Microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth. This can also be done over a water bath on the stove.
- Mix the IngredientsWhisk the sugar into the chocolate mixture. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla, ensuring each is incorporated well. Stir in the flour and salt, mixing just until combined. If you’re adding any mix-ins, fold them in last.
- Bake to PerfectionSpoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tins, filling each about three-quarters full. This will allow some rise without overflowing. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and ServeLet the brownies cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. They’re best served slightly warm, with perhaps a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel.
