Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Bites
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s the perfect temperature for baking the brownie bites evenly.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly to prevent the brownie bites from sticking once baked.
- Melt Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter completely, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Remove the melted butter from heat and immediately stir in 2 cups of granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the wet mixture. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a consistent batter.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold 1 cup of chocolate chips into the batter to distribute chocolate chunks evenly throughout.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the greased mini muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with fudgy crumbs but no wet batter.
- Cool and Decorate: Allow the brownie bites to cool completely in the tin before removing. Once cooled, sprinkle the tops with 1/2 cup of holiday sprinkles for a festive finish.
Notes
- For extra fudgy brownie bites, avoid overbaking; check doneness starting at 15 minutes.
- You can substitute holiday sprinkles with chopped nuts or shredded coconut for variation.
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature to help the batter mix evenly.
- Use a non-stick spray or butter to grease the muffin tin for easy release.
- Store brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
