Brownie Cupcake Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners to prepare for baking.
- Melt the butter and combine wet ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the granulated sugar, then add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to combine.
- Add dry ingredients: Gradually mix in the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined without overmixing.
- Fill cupcake liners: Evenly divide the brownie batter among the cupcake liners in the muffin tin, filling each about two-thirds full for proper rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, indicating they are fully baked.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before serving or frosting as desired.
Notes
- Ensure not to overbake to keep the cupcakes moist and fudgy inside.
- You can add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
- Make sure to melt the butter gently to avoid burning it.
- The cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- For a richer flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder if available.
