Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Butter Gives those chewy edges; substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 8 oz Semi-sweet chocolate For that intense chocolate flavor; dark chocolate works too.
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar To sweeten things up; brown sugar can add a lovely depth.
  • 2 large Eggs Bind everything together; replace with flaxseed meal mixed with water for a vegan option.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract Provides extra warmth; almond extract is a great substitute.
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour For structure; gluten-free flour works as a substitute.
  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder Intensifies the chocolate flavor; Dutch-processed is preferred.
  • 1/4 tsp Salt Balances sweetness; consider flaky sea salt for a gourmet touch.
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate chips Extra gooeyness; use white chocolate or butterscotch chips for a fun twist.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Set oven to 350°F and spray mini muffin pan generously with cooking spray.
  2. Combine butter and chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; melt until smooth.
  3. Whisk granulated sugar into melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract for flavor.
  5. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  6. Fold dry ingredients into chocolate mixture just until combined—don’t overmix.
  7. Fold in chocolate chips, then fill mini muffin cups 2/3 full with batter.
Baking
  1. Cook for 12-15 minutes until tops crackle and set but centers remain soft.

Notes

Let the Brownie Bites cool before attempting to remove them from the pan for easier handling. Sprinkle with sea salt right after baking for an elevated flavor profile. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to three months.
