Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate and Butter

  • 2/3 cup coarsely chopped bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (113g), plus extra for topping
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, in small pieces (113g)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (about 45g)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (about 10g)
  • 1/3 cup dutch-process cocoa powder (35g)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Your Baking Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (180℃). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners to prevent sticking and make removal easier after baking.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Place chopped chocolate and butter in a medium heatproof bowl. Melt them together in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler by placing the bowl over simmering water, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a small bowl. This ensures a smooth and aerated mixture, helping the batter to combine easily.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: With an electric mixer fitted with a whisk or using a handheld mixer, whisk the eggs and sugar on high speed for about 4 minutes until the mixture is thick and pale. Lower the speed to low and slowly add the melted chocolate mixture, mixing until well combined. Stop the mixer once combined.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the sifted flour mixture into the wet batter using a rubber spatula, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture in the muffins.
  6. Fill and Bake the Brownie Muffins: Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle extra chopped chocolate on top of each muffin. Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but not dry. Avoid overbaking to keep the muffins fudgy and moist.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Transfer the muffins to a wire rack and let them cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from the pans. Allow them to cool completely on the rack before serving to enjoy their full flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not overbake to maintain the moist, fudgy texture of the brownie muffins.
  • Using dutch-process cocoa powder gives a smoother, less acidic chocolate flavor.
  • Folding the dry ingredients gently prevents tough muffins.
  • Extra chopped chocolate on top adds an appealing texture and extra chocolate burst.
  • Allow muffins to cool completely for best flavor and texture.
