Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Cupcakes

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 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

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners to prepare for baking.
  2. Melt the butter and combine wet ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the granulated sugar, then add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to combine.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Gradually mix in the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined without overmixing.
  4. Fill cupcake liners: Evenly divide the brownie batter among the cupcake liners in the muffin tin, filling each about two-thirds full for proper rising.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, indicating they are fully baked.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before serving or frosting as desired.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the brownies fudgy and moist.
  • You can add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking flour blend.
