Brownie Cupcakes
These cupcakes are the answer to your chocolatey dreams. Whether you’re hosting a party or just want to indulge, these brownie cupcakes will steal the show!
Ingredients
To whip up these little delights, you’ll need:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (that’s two sticks, folks)
- 2 cups granulated sugar (because who doesn’t love a sugar rush?)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (for those extra gooey bites)
- Optional: whipped cream or sprinkles for the top (because why not?)
Instructions
Now that we have the essentials, let’s get baking:
- First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with your favorite cupcake liners. Pro tip: Don’t skip this step, or you might end up with brownie soup!
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and then mix in the sugar until it’s all combined. Your kitchen will smell like a bakery in no time.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla. The aroma is heavenly!
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add this dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. No need to overdo it; we want these bad boys fudgy!
- Fold in the chocolate chips, because chocolate is a necessity at this point.
- Pour the batter into your cupcake liners, filling them about two-thirds full. This way, they can rise without overflowing like a volcanic eruption!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely (if you can resist the temptation to eat them straight away!).
Once cooled, you can top them with whipped cream, drizzle some chocolate sauce, or just eat them plain—though, let’s be honest, who would do that? Enjoy your brownie cupcake masterpiece!
