Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 20 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams dried cherries, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the wells.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together over a double boiler or in the microwave using 20-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whisked eggs and sugar, stirring constantly to combine.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chopped dried cherries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each well about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center of a brownie bite comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the tin from the oven and let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Cherry and Spice Brownie Bites plain or with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an elegant finish. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
