Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 170 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 65 grams All-purpose flour
- 15 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 12 Dark chocolate squares (about 1-inch pieces)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar with the eggs until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, whisking constantly until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and glossy.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter into each prepared muffin cup, filling each about halfway.
Press one dark chocolate square into the center of each cup, then top with an additional tablespoon of batter, ensuring the chocolate square is fully covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly jiggly.
Remove from the oven and let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 3-5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack.
Serve warm to enjoy the molten chocolate center, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
