Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
  • 2/3 cup bittersweet chocolate (coarsely chopped)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder (e.g., Ghirardelli brand)
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Your Baking Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (180℃). Line 12 muffin cups with liners and set aside to prevent sticking and to make removing muffins easy after baking.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the chopped bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together by heating in 20-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between intervals until smooth. Alternatively, melt over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare Dry Ingredients: Sift together 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl to combine and aerate. Set aside.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a handheld mixer, beat the 2 large eggs with 3/4 cup granulated sugar on high speed for about 4 minutes until thick and pale. Reduce the speed to low and slowly mix in the melted chocolate and butter mixture. Stop once fully combined.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the sifted flour, cocoa powder, and salt mixture to the wet ingredients. Gently fold using a rubber spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
  6. Fill and Bake the Brownie Muffins: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Optionally, sprinkle extra chopped chocolate on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but not dry. Avoid overbaking to keep the muffins moist and fudgy.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Remove the muffins from the oven and transfer the pan to a wire rack. Let the muffins cool for at least 10 minutes before taking them out of the muffin cups. Cool completely on the wire rack before serving for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy your moist and chocolaty brownie muffins!

Notes

  • Be careful not to overbake to keep your brownie muffins fudgy and moist.
  • Folding in the dry ingredients gently preserves the tender crumb.
  • Using Dutch-process cocoa powder provides a deeper chocolate flavor.
  • Chilling the batter is not necessary but can be done if you prefer thicker muffins.
  • Sprinkling extra chopped chocolate before baking adds a nice melty topping.
