Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (35 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup (95 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp espresso powder (optional)
- 3/4 cup (130 g) mint chocolate chips
- A few drops green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your mini muffin pan by spraying lightly with non-stick spray or lining with mini silicone baking cups.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and espresso powder (if using).
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spatula just until combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are okay.
- Fold in most of the mint chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for topping. If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring and gently swirl it in.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the reserved mint chips on top.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, checking after 12 minutes. The brownies should be set around the edges but slightly soft in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- Let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
If mint chips melt too much, chill the batter for 10 minutes before baking to keep chips defined. Use non-stick spray or silicone liners to prevent sticking. Let brownies cool completely before removing from pan. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, replace butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free mint chips.
