Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional for extra fudginess)
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners to prepare for baking these delightful brownies.
2. Melt the Butter:
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before mixing.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
Stir in the granulated sugar into the melted butter until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract for a burst of flavor.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder to create a rich brownie base.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix for that perfect fudgy texture.
If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for extra gooey goodness.
6. Fill the Cupcake Liners:
Spoon the brownie batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full to allow for rising.
7. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, indicating they are perfectly baked.
8. Cool and Dust:
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For an extra touch, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
