Simple and Fudgy Mini Brownie Bites Recipe

0 Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray the bottom and sides of your mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
1 Melt the butter and dark chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat. Mix slightly with a wooden spoon, until you can see only melted chocolate and no lumps. Let it cool slightly.
2 Whisk together the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the butter-chocolate mixture and freshly brewed coffee to the dry ingredients until thick and smooth.
3 Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until just combined.
4 Gently fold the flour into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
5 Use a small 1.5 Tbsp cookie scoop to divide the brownie batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin. Fill each cup about ¾ full.
6 Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center—it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
7 Let the brownies cool completely before removing them from the tin. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
