📋 Ingredients:
- 🍫 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 🍯 1 cup granulated sugar
- 🍫 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 🧂 1/4 tsp salt
- 🥚 2 large eggs
- 🍦 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 🍚 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 🍫 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
📝 Directions:
1. Preheat Oven:
- 🔥 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line it with paper cupcake liners.
2. Prepare the Brownie Batter:
- 🍯 Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth and well combined.
- 🍫 Add Cocoa and Eggs: Whisk in the cocoa powder, salt, eggs, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and glossy.
- 🍚 Incorporate the Flour: Gently fold in the flour until just combined. If you’re adding chocolate chips or chunks, fold them in now.
3. Fill the Muffin Pan:
- 🧁 Scoop the Batter: Divide the brownie batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 of the way full.
4. Bake the Brownies:
- 🔥 Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- ❄️ Cool: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. Serve:
- 🍽️ Enjoy: Serve the brownies warm or at room temperature. They’re delicious on their own, or you can top them with a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
