Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 3 pcs large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing it lightly or spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture, combining well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to create the brownie batter.
Scoop about a tablespoon of the brownie batter into each prepared mini muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly crackled. Do not overbake.
While the brownies are baking, prepare the peanut butter filling by mixing the peanut butter and powdered sugar in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
Remove the brownie bites from the oven and let them cool for 3–5 minutes. Using a spoon handle or your finger, gently press an indentation into the center of each brownie.
Pipe or spoon a small dollop of the peanut butter mixture into the indentation of each brownie bite.
Allow the brownie peanut butter bites to finish cooling in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Easy Brownie Peanut Butter Bites!
