We all need a good brownie recipe, don’t we!? Well, today I am sharing with you the best, most versatile, fudgiest brownie recipe ever! I stopped looking for a good brownie recipe when I came up with this one – it is simply the best I have found!
The most versatile Brownie Recipe!
This brownie recipe is simply my go-to chocolate recipe. I have used it in many different forms, sizes and shapes and it just always turns out absolutely delicious! It’s not often that a recipe can work in so many different ways, but that’s what makes it an awesome and versatile recipe. This time, I simply made mini individual brownies using a small cupcake pan. But to list only a few, I have also used this exact recipe as:
- a Cheesecake Base
- a Chocolate Bavarois Cake Base
- mini Chocolate Bundt Cakes (some filled with oranges, some not)
- Simple Brownie Tray
Small Brownies in a Mini Muffin Pan
Making this recipe is as easy as pouring the Chocolate Brownies in a Cupcake Pan. Although you can use a full size muffin or cupcake pan, I used a Mini Muffin Pan to make a perfect mini party dessert. Those mini pans are also awesome to make mini tarts and other bite size desserts. Tea party, anyone!?
These Chocolate Brownie Bites are delicious as is. They are so fudgy and gooey on their own, they just don’t need any extra sauce or frosting! To make those mini brownies, you will need:
- Eggs
- Brown Sugar
- Butter
- Dark Cooking Chocolate (preferably 70% cacao at least)
- Flour
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Milk
- Optional: instant Coffee Powder
How to make this Mini Chewy Brownie Recipe:
When I say this recipe is easy, it just really is… No fancy ingredients needed, no big baking utensils required. To make those chocolate brownie bites, simply:
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter together and set aside to cool down
- Whisk the Eggs and Brown Sugar, then add the Flour, Baking Powder and Salt
- Pour in the Chocolate & Butter, then the Milk (with dissolved coffee powder if desired) and quickly mix until all incorporated.
Yup, that’s it… All you need is a bowl, a whisk and a microwave!
