Key Ingredients for Mini Brownie Bites

Here’s what you’ll need (exact amounts in the recipe card below):

• Unsweetened cocoa powder – Dutch-process cocoa gives a deeper flavor.
• All-purpose flour – The base of the brownies for structure.
• Salt – Enhances the chocolatey flavor.
• Mini chocolate chips – Adds gooey, melty chocolate in every bite.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Mini Brownie Bites

Follow these simple steps to bake perfectly chewy, fudgy brownie bites every time!

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
• Grease a mini muffin pan with non-stick spray or line with mini cupcake liners.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

• In a medium bowl, whisk together:
  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
• Set this aside.

Step 3: Melt the Butter & Mix Wet Ingredients

• In a separate large mixing bowl, melt ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter in the microwave.
• Stir in 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar while the butter is still warm.
• Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, then whisk until smooth.

Step 4: Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients

• Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula.
• Stir until just combined—don’t overmix, or your brownies will be tough!

Step 5: Add Mini Chocolate Chips

• Fold in ½ cup (90g) mini chocolate chips for extra gooeyness.

Step 6: Fill the Mini Muffin Pan

• Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to evenly divide the batter into the prepared pan.
• Fill each cup about ¾ full—these don’t rise much, so no need to worry about overflow.

Step 7: Bake to Perfection

• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
• A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.

Step 8: Cool Before Removing

• Let brownie bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
• They will firm up as they cool, creating that perfect chewy texture.
