I have recently started cooking for snacks for the youth. Its cheaper for the church and healthier snacks because I can control the ingredients. One nonhealthy but tasty snack I made at the last Chill-In was brownies! Homemade, PERFECTLY sizes wonderful BROWNIES!The key is baking it in a mini muffin pan! They come out bite sized and perfect. And with the mini muffin pan it takes half the bake time.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso combined with 1 tablespoon warm water
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder (for extra rich brownies, try dark cocoa powder)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Dark chocolate chips (I used 60% cacao)
- Baking spray (cooking spray with flour for baking)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray mini muffin tin with baking spray.
Combine butter, sugar, espresso mixture, and eggs in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, and beat to combine.
Fill a mini muffin tin with the brownie batter. Place a few chocolate chips in the center of each brownie bite.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow brownie bites to cool slightly prior to removing from pan.
