Mini Brownie Treats are bite-sized delights perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings without the need for a full-size dessert. These rich, fudgy brownies are baked in mini muffin tins, making them ideal for parties, potlucks, or a quick sweet treat. The small size ensures you get a perfect balance of crispy edges and a soft, gooey center in every bite. Serve them as is, or add your favorite toppings like a drizzle of caramel, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
- Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, if using.
- Fill the tin: Spoon the batter into the greased mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Allow the mini brownie treats to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve as is, or garnish with your favorite toppings.
Enjoy these decadent Mini Brownie Treats as a fun, portion-controlled dessert that’s perfect for any occasion!
