Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional, for extra food ness: 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Confectioners’ sugar (for dusting, optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a mini muffin tin very lightly with non-stick spray or line it with mini muffin liners. They also ensure your fudge brownie bites won’t stick to the pan and get out shaped perfectly.
Melt the Butter:
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave or on the stove top. Let it chill a bit before mixing it with the other ingredients.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
Whisk the sugar, eggs and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Melt the butter and pour it into the mixture; mix thoroughly. This will result in a moist, fudgy texture for your brownie bites.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separ ate bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. This will mix the cocoa powder in with no clumps in your brownie batter
Combine Dry Ingredients with Wet Ingredients:
Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing slowly with a spatula or whisk. Keep mixing until you achieve a smooth and thick brownie batter. If using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter now.
Fill the Muffin Tin:
Divide the brownie batter into the mini muffin tin, filling a tin each about 3/4 of the way. You don’t have to worry about getting them just right — the batter will spread and rise as it cooks.
Bake the Brownie Bites:
Put the muffin tin in the oven and bake until the tooth pick comes out clean (or with a few moist crumbs), 12 to 15 minutes. You do not want to over-bake the foodie brownie bites, so watch for doneness.
Cool:
Bake, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the brownie bites cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then, move the to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional Dusting:
If you're feeling extra sweet, a sprinkle of powdered sugar over your cooled brownie bites is always a good idea. It makes them look polished and adds a touch more sweetness.
Fudge Brownie Bites Best Tips:
Don’t Overmix: When you combine the wet and dry ingredients, they should still be lumpy and not completely mixed. Over mixing can create denser, cack brownies.
Customize with Add-ins: Add in chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans), drizzle of caramel, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for an extra hit of flavor.
Don’t Over-bake: When you bake the brownies, watch them carefully. If they bake too long, they will dry out and turn cakey, and we want foodie. A skewer should come out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
Chill Before Serving: For a more intense chocolate flavor, let the brownie bites chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
Healthier Option
And for something a little lighter, you could easily replace the butter with applesauce or Greek yogurt. You could also substitute all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour to increase the fiber content.
