Ingredients
- 2 boxes brownie mix
- Additional eggs as called for on the brownie mix (plus 1 extra egg)
- Ingredients required by the brownie mix (usually oil and water)
- Nonstick cooking spray
Tools You’ll Need
- Mini muffin tin
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk or hand mixer
- Rubber spatula
- Cooling rack
Suggested Additions
- Mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra crunch
- A sprinkle of sea salt before baking
- Swirls of caramel or peanut butter
How to Make Brownie Muffin Bites
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat your mini muffin tin with nonstick spray.
- Prepare brownie batter according to the box directions — but add one extra egg for a fluffier, slightly cakey bite.
- Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter. Don’t overfill; they’ll rise beautifully.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are shiny and set.
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. (Try not to eat them all while they’re still warm — I dare you!)
These bake up so fast that you can have a chocolate fix ready before your coffee even cools!
What to Serve with Brownie Muffin Bites
- A glass of cold milk or oat milk
- Vanilla ice cream for dessert heaven
- Fresh berries for a sweet-tart contrast
- A drizzle of caramel or espresso glaze for flair
Tips for Making It Perfect
- Don’t overmix the batter — it can make the bites tough.
- For extra fudgy centers, slightly underbake by 1–2 minutes.
- Use a mini scoop for evenly sized bites.
- Store them in an airtight container once completely cool to keep the texture perfect.
Storage Instructions
Store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
To freeze, place cooled muffin bites in a single layer in a freezer bag — they’ll keep for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds before serving.
