Equipment

Ingredients

6 ounces semisweet chocolate (1 cup)
½ cup salted butter
2 large eggs
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius)
Lightly grease a mini muffin tin (preferably silicone for easy removal).
Melt chocolate and butter together in a microwave safe bowl, or on the stovetop over low heat. Stir until smooth and glossy. Set aside.
In the bowl of a standing mixer, beat eggs for 1 minute or until pale and thick.
Add sugar and beat for an additional 1 minute, until sugar is dissolved.
Add melted chocolate/butter mixture and vanilla and stir on low speed until batter is smooth and homogenous (uniform throughout).
Add flour, cocoa powder and sea salt and mix until combined.
Fill each well of the muffin tin to the top – this is a heaping tablespoon of batter in each well about 1.5 TBS.
Bake in the preheated for 12 to 15 minutes. Until tops are shiny and set and brownies are puffed.
Transfer the brownie pan to a wire cooling rack and let the brownie bites cool completely in the pan before removing them to serve.

Notes

Ingredient Substitution Notes

Semisweet chocolate. You can use chips, bars, discs, etc. because in both the brownie layer and the ganache layer, it's being melted. You can use dark chocolate or milk chocolate for a richer, sweeter flavor.
Salted butter. Unsalted butter works great as well.
Granulated sugar. Organic cane sugar works well too!
All-purpose flour. Use an all-purpose gluten-free baking flour to make these brownie bites gluten-free.

Store/Freeze

Store extra brownie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month. You can even make this ahead of time for a party and freeze them!

Let them thaw slowly at room temperature, or reheat for a few seconds in the microwave to return the fresh-from-the-oven fudgy texture!
