Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 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
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners or lightly grease the cups. - Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. - Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder until evenly distributed. - Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture. - Fill the Muffin Tin:
Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full. - Bake the Brownie Cupcakes:
Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as the cupcakes should remain soft and chewy inside. - Cool and Serve:
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy the crispy tops and chewy centers!
Notes
- For an extra chocolatey flavor, you can add chocolate chips or chunks to the batter before baking.
- You can top these with a dusting of powdered sugar or even a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent treat.
