Brownie Cupcakes
These brownie cupcakes are rich, decadent, and oh-so-delicious. They’re sure to make your dessert table the talk of the town. Grab your apron and let’s get baking!
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 cup chocolate chips (because why not?)
Instructions:
- Preheat that magical oven of yours to 350°F (175°C). Grab your muffin tin and line it with cupcake liners (trust me, you don’t want a brownie disaster).
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Give it a quick zap until it’s nice and melted, about 30-60 seconds. Then, stir in the sugar until it’s well combined, and let it cool a bit. You don’t want scrambled eggs in your batter!
- Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix each one in thoroughly. Toss in the vanilla extract and mix like you mean it.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until combined, but don’t go overboard; we want fudgy, not tough!
- Finally, fold in those chocolate chips. Yes, you can eat a few right now. I won’t tell!
- Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin tin. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full or you’ll end up with chocolate volcanos (though those do sound fun!).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs; that’s perfection right there!
- Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Patience, my friend! It’s worth it.
Once they’re cool, you can frost them if you want—though they’re pretty darn great on their own! Enjoy your gloriously fudgy brownie cupcakes and the frenzy they’ll create amongst your friends and family!
