Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-processed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Position the rack in the center and lightly grease your heart-shaped mini muffin pan or line with silicone molds.
  2. Melt the butter gently in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, careful not to burn it. Let it cool slightly so it’s warm but not hot.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
  4. Crack in the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder (if using).
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix just until combined—don’t overmix.
  7. Gently fold in chocolate chips if desired.
  8. Spoon the batter evenly into each heart-shaped cavity, filling about 3/4 full.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Start checking at 12 minutes; edges should look set but centers slightly soft when poked gently.
  10. Remove from oven and let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If batter feels too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to loosen. Avoid overbaking to keep fudgy texture. Use good quality Dutch-processed cocoa powder for best flavor. Let brownies cool fully before removing from molds to keep shapes intact.
