Serves: 24 mini brownie bites
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease a 24-cavity mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Whisk the ingredients together until the batter is smooth and no dry mix remains.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into the brownie batter, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup for filling.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, fill each mini muffin cavity about 2/3 full with the brownie batter.
- Create a small indentation in the center of each batter-filled cavity using the back of a teaspoon or your thumb.
- Place 3-4 chocolate chips in the center of each indentation, pressing them slightly into the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the mini brownie bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
- Carefully run a butter knife around the edges of each bite to loosen, then gently remove them from the pan and transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- Allow the brownie bites to cool completely before serving. The chocolate chips in the center will create a gooey, molten chocolate filling.
Tips
- • Use a non-stick mini muffin tin and generously spray with cooking spray to ensure easy removal • Don't overfill the cavities - stick to about 2/3 full to allow room for rising • Create a small indent in each bite to perfectly nestle the chocolate chips • Use a teaspoon or thumb to make the center indentation • Watch baking time carefully - 12-15 minutes is the sweet spot for a moist, fudgy texture • Let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to maintain their shape • Use a butter knife to gently loosen edges if they stick • For extra decadence, try different types of chocolate chips like dark, milk, or even caramel-filled
