Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup (plus 3 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon espresso powder (optional, adds deeper flavor)
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 pinch salt

Add-ins and Garnish

  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: sprinkles and extra melted chocolate chips for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Butter a mini muffin pan or line it with mini cupcake liners, then set aside to be ready for the batter.
  2. Melt and Combine Base Ingredients: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, optional espresso powder, and brown sugar. Whisk continuously until the mixture is smooth, shiny, and well combined.
  3. Cool and Add Eggs: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the chocolate mixture cool for at least 5 minutes. Once slightly cooled, whisk in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt using a silicone spatula. Make sure to mix gently for a tender crumb. Then fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to add pockets of melted chocolate in each bite.
  5. Fill Muffin Pan: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to evenly portion the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan cups. Fill each about 3/4 full for the perfect size.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The brownie bites should be set around the edges but still moist inside. Avoid overbaking to maintain the fudgy texture; a toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs.
  7. Cool: Let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Serve and Garnish: Enjoy the brownie bites warm or after they’ve cooled. Optionally, decorate with sprinkles or drizzle with extra melted chocolate chips for an indulgent finish.

Notes

  • Storage: Store brownie bites at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-4 days to keep them fresh.
  • Freezing: Once fully cooled, freeze brownie bites in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months.
  • Baking Tip: Do not overbake to preserve their fudgy texture; look for moist crumbs with a toothpick test.
  • Chocolate Chips: Allow the batter to cool before folding in chocolate chips to prevent them from melting completely, preserving texture.
  • Pan Prep: Properly grease the pan or use cupcake liners to ensure easy removal of the brownie bites.
