Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (plus additional for topping, if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350℉ and grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter: Place the butter in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl and microwave until completely melted.
  3. Mix Sugar with Butter: While the butter is still hot, add the sugar and whisk together vigorously for one minute until well combined.
  4. Add Cocoa Powder: Stir in the cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  5. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Whisk in the whole egg and additional egg yolk along with the vanilla extract to add richness and flavor.
  6. Add Dry Ingredients and Chips: Gently stir in the flour, salt, and mini chocolate chips just until the batter is combined, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Scoop Batter into Tin: Using a cookie scoop, portion the batter into the mini muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  8. Top with Extra Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips on top of each brownie bite if desired for extra chocolate flavor and texture.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are shiny and the centers remain slightly soft and fudgy.
  10. Cool and Remove: Allow the brownie bites to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra protein, consider adding a tablespoon of protein powder to the dry ingredients.
  • You can substitute butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • Mini chocolate chips on top add a nice texture but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Do not overbake to maintain the fudgy center texture.
  • Store brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
