Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spatula
  • Measuring cups & spoons
  • Mini muffin pan
  • Oven and a craving for chocolate

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter  melted, like my willpower
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar  adds that caramel-y soul
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips optional but… is it really?

Instructions
 

  • Get that oven going
    350°F (175°C) — preheat it while you light a candle or throw on your comfort playlist. We’re setting the mood.
  • Mix your feelings (and ingredients)
    In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. It should look glossy and a little suspiciously smooth. That’s the vibe.
  • Add the dry squad
    Toss in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir it gently, like you’re handling your best friend’s secrets. Don’t overmix — we want fudgy, not cakey.
  • Fold in those chips
    If you’re using chocolate chips (highly recommended), now’s their time to shine. They’ll melt right into the batter and make everything feel more luxurious than it has any right to be.
  • Fill your mini muffin pan
    Spray or grease it, then scoop in the batter — about 2/3 full per cup. They’ll puff up a bit, but not dramatically. These babies stay humble.
  • Bake + Breathe
    Pop them in the oven for 12–15 minutes. You want the tops to look set but still feel a little soft in the middle. Trust me, don’t overbake. That’s where the magic lives.
  • Cool (or don’t)
    Let ‘em cool if you have patience. Or do what I do and eat one warm, standing at the counter, eyes closed like you just discovered the meaning of life.

Notes

  • Brownie bites love being slightly underbaked — don’t get shy.
  • Mini muffin pans are key for that chewy edge + gooey middle combo.
  • Want to get fancy? Swirl in some peanut butter or Nutella.
  • You can freeze them, but let’s be honest… they won’t last that long.
  • They’re even better the next day — if you can resist.
