Chocolate Chip Brownie Bites

When everyone reaches for another rich, chocolatey bite, you know dessert was a winner. These Chocolate Chip Brownie Bites are packed with chocolate — fudgy centers, crackly tops, and melty chocolate chips in every single bite. Rich, fudgy, and loaded with chocolate, these bite-sized treats are perfect for dessert tables, lunchboxes, and late-night cravings. They bake in a mini muffin pan, so they are ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
• Cooking spray or butter, for the pan
• Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat the oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan well with cooking spray or butter.
2. Mix the batter: In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla.
3. Add the dry ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently until just combined — a few small streaks are fine. Fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
4. Fill the pan: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup, filling each about 3/4 full. Press a few of the remaining chocolate chips onto the top of each.
5. Bake: Bake 12–14 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. Do not overbake — they firm up as they cool.
6. Cool and serve: Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if you like, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Pro tip: Underbake them by a minute — pull the pan when the centers still look a touch glossy. That is the secret to a fudgy, truffle-like center instead of a cakey bite.
