🥄 Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin pan with paper liners.
- Melt the butter and chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 20-second intervals, stirring after each. Once smooth, set it aside to cool slightly.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Add the chocolate: Slowly pour the melted chocolate-butter mixture into the wet ingredients and stir until fully combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Add dry to wet: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins fudgy.
- Optional chocolate chunks: Gently stir in the chocolate chunks for extra chocolatey goodness.
- Fill the muffin pan: Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). The tops should be slightly cracked.
- Cool and enjoy: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm for that fresh-out-of-the-oven chocolatey goodness!
