Ingredients
Brownie Bites Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Flaky sea salt, for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 24-cup mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking, and set it aside.
- Melt butter and chocolate: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and chocolate chips. Heat in the microwave for 60 to 90 seconds, stopping every 30 seconds to whisk until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Add sugar and eggs: Whisk the granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture. Then add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition to create a smooth, glossy batter.
- Incorporate cocoa powder: Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder until fully combined and the batter is even in color and texture.
- Fill muffin cups: Evenly scoop the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup nearly to the top.
- Bake the brownie bites: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking to ensure even cooking. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a brownie bite; it should come out clean.
- Add sea salt: Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle each brownie bite with a pinch of flaky sea salt to enhance the flavor.
- Cool and remove: Allow the brownie bites to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, run a sharp knife around each bite’s edge and carefully pop them out of the muffin pan.
Notes
- Use good-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor—semi-sweet or dark chocolate works well.
- Be careful not to overbake; the bites should be fudgy and moist inside.
- Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a wonderful contrast to the rich chocolate.
- Store leftover brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to keep them fresh longer.
- If you prefer a different pan size, adjust baking time accordingly.
