Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Cupcakes

  • 8 ounces unsalted butter
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line 20 muffin cups with paper liners to prepare for baking.
  2. Melt chocolate: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate chips together, stirring constantly for about 3-5 minutes until the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes to prevent cooking the eggs in the batter.
  3. Mix batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the white sugar and eggs together until well combined and slightly thickened. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the cooled chocolate and butter mixture until evenly incorporated, forming a smooth brownie batter.
  4. Bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about halfway. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Remove from oven and allow to cool before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overbake to keep the brownies fudgy inside.
  • Allow the chocolate and butter mixture to cool before mixing with eggs to avoid scrambling.
  • These cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated to keep longer.
  • Optional: Add nuts or chocolate chunks for added texture.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend.
