How to Make Brownie Bites
The printable recipe card below has the full ingredients list and instructions.
Preheat the oven to 175℃ (350℉). Beat the egg, vanilla and sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric beater until light and fluffy.
Melt the chocolate chips and butter together over a double boiler (or in the microwave in 30-second intervals). Remove the bowl from the heat before the butter is fully melted, and mix until fully combined. The residual heat will continue to melt the butter and chocolate together.
Pour the chocolate and butter into the eggs and sugar and beat until fully combined.
Sift in the cocoa powder, flour and salt. Fold into the wet ingredients until just combined. Don’t overmix the batter.
Spray a mini muffin tray (24 holes) with non-stick spray. Add 1 ½ tablespoons of batter to each muffin cup.
Bake for 14-16 minutes. Leave them to cool in the muffin tray before removing them.
Serve warm with a scoop of homemade condensed milk ice cream or cookies and cream ice cream!
How do I know when brownie bites are done?
Brownie bites are done when the tops are set, and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as they can quickly go from fudgy to dry.
Can I add more chocolate chips?
Yes, for sure! If you want to add chocolate chips to the batter, fold them into the mixture after incorporating the dry ingredients.
Why did my brownie bites sink in the middle?
Brownie bites may sink if they are underbaked, if the batter was overmixed, or if the oven temperature is too low. Ensure your oven is preheated correctly, and follow the baking time closely. Avoid opening the oven door during baking.
Storage
Room Temperature – Store brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Refrigerator – For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to 3 months.
Freezing – If freezing, wrap each brownie bite individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag.
