Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 6 Tbsp butter
  • 4 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Syrup and Sugar

  • 2/3 cup (152g) granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp corn syrup

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (114g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a silicone mini muffin pan with non-stick spray to ensure easy removal later and set it aside.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: Place the butter and chopped bittersweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Add Sugar and Corn Syrup: Whisk the granulated sugar and corn syrup into the melted chocolate mixture. Allow the mixture to stand for 5 minutes to help dissolve the sugar properly.
  4. Incorporate Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the ingredients together for about 2 minutes until well combined and slightly fluffy.
  5. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the all-purpose flour and salt into the wet mixture just until combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the brownies tender.
  6. Fill the Muffin Pan: Spoon or portion the batter evenly into the prepared silicone mini muffin pan cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the tops of the brownie bites are glossy and beginning to crack, signaling they are cooked through.
  8. Cool and Remove: Allow the brownie bites to cool completely in the pan before carefully removing them to prevent breakage.
  9. Store: Store the brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Enjoy them fresh for the best texture and flavor!

Notes

  • Using a silicone mini muffin pan helps with easy removal of the brownie bites without breaking.
  • Microwaving chocolate and butter in intervals prevents burning and ensures smooth melting.
  • Do not overmix when combining the flour to maintain fudgy texture.
  • The brownie bites are best enjoyed within 4 days for optimal freshness.
  • For a nutty twist, consider adding chopped nuts to the batter before baking.
