Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- 6 Tbsp butter
- 4 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cup (152g) granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp corn syrup
- 1 egg
- 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (114g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a silicone mini muffin pan with non-stick spray and set aside to ensure easy removal of brownie bites.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: Combine the butter and chopped bittersweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Add Sugar and Corn Syrup: Whisk the granulated sugar and corn syrup into the melted chocolate and butter mixture. Let it stand for 5 minutes to allow the mixture to slightly thicken.
- Incorporate Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture. Use an electric hand mixer to beat the batter for 2 minutes until it is well combined and slightly fluffy.
- Fold in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to preserve the fudgy texture.
- Portion Batter: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared silicone mini muffin pan, filling each mini cup.
- 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, indicating doneness.
- Cool and Store: Allow the brownie bites to cool completely in the pan before removing them. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use a silicone mini muffin pan for easy removal without cracking the brownies.
- Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to keep the brownies fudgy.
- The corn syrup helps to add moisture and shine to the brownie bites.
- Allow brownies to cool fully to set their texture before removing from the pan.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
