Description

These Fudgy Espresso Brownie Bites are rich, chocolatey mini treats infused with espresso to enhance the deep chocolate flavor. Perfectly fudgy and bite-sized, they make an ideal dessert or snack, topped optionally with mini chocolate chips, sea salt flakes, or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp instant espresso powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Optional Toppings

  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Sea salt flakes
  • Chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan or line it with mini paper liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs in the next step.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Whisk in the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and instant espresso powder until everything is well combined and smooth.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold these into the wet mixture until the batter is smooth and fully combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the brownie batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips, sea salt flakes, or chopped nuts on top for extra flavor and texture.
  6. Bake: Bake the brownie bites for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the centers are just set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs, ensuring a fudgy texture.
  7. Cool: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from breaking and gives the best texture.

Notes

  • The instant espresso powder intensifies the chocolate flavor without overpowering the brownies with coffee taste.
  • Store the brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
  • For longer storage, freeze the brownie bites for up to 1 month; thaw at room temperature before serving.
