Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional, for extra chocolatey goodness)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- Melt the Butter and Mix Sugars
- In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, melt the butter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, whisking until smooth and well combined.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. This helps create the signature crackly top of brownies.
- Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently to avoid overmixing.
- Add Chocolate Chips (Optional)
- Fold in chocolate chips or chunks if desired for an extra layer of chocolate richness.
- Fill Muffin Tin
- Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. This ensures the muffins rise and develop a slightly domed shape.
- Bake
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not completely clean, as you want the centers to be fudgy). Avoid overbaking to retain the rich, brownie-like texture.
- Cool and Serve
- Let the brownie muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Conclusion
These brownie muffins offer the best of both worlds: the indulgent, fudgy texture of a brownie and the ease of a muffin. Perfect for lunchboxes, potlucks, or an afternoon treat, these brownie muffins will satisfy any chocolate craving. Enjoy them as is or with a scoop of ice cream for an extra special dessert!
