HOW TO MAKE BROWNIE BITES STEP-BY-STEP:
Check out the quick visual guides below. For full instructions and ingredients, see the printable recipe card at the end.
STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan or line with paper liners.
STEP 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and semisweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
STEP 3: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate mixture and granulated sugar until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract.
STEP 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
STEP 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
STEP 6: Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
STEP 7: Bake for 11-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a brownie bite comes out with a few moist crumbs.
STEP 8: Let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
PRO TIP:
For an extra special treat, add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of each brownie bite just before baking for a sweet and salty combo!

Additions & Substitution
ADDITIONS:
- Mini Chocolate Chips: Fold 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips into the batter for extra chocolatey goodness in every bite. My twins call these chocolate brownie bites, LOL!
- Peanut Butter Swirl: Drop small dollops of peanut butter into the batter before baking and swirl it with a toothpick for a delicious peanut butter and chocolate combo. So yum!
- Nuts: Add 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to give your brownie bites a little crunch.
