Brownie Cupcakes Ingredients

  • 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 and Butter: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate chips together, stirring constantly until smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for 10-15 minutes to avoid cooking the eggs when combined.
  3. Prepare Batter: In a large bowl, beat the white sugar and eggs until well combined. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract, stirring gently. Fold in the cooled chocolate and butter mixture until the batter is uniform and smooth.
  4. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about halfway to allow room for rising while baking.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs for the perfect fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the chocolate mixture is cooled before mixing with eggs to prevent scrambling.
  • You can add nuts or chocolate chunks for extra texture.
  • Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
