Now, for the exciting part – here are the ingredients you’ll need to get started:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended!)

Got your ingredients ready? Let’s dive into the instructions and see how to whip these up!

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Trust me; it makes cleanup a breeze!
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the sugar and stir until well combined.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly before adding the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the vanilla extract until it’s all mixed together.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. If you’re adding the chocolate chips, now’s the time to fold them in too!
  5. Evenly distribute the brownie batter into your prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Remember, we want fudgy cupcakes!
  7. Let them cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

And there you have it! Delicious, fudgy brownie cupcakes that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or just treating yourself, these bites of bliss are always a hit. Happy baking!
