Frequently Asked Questions

→ What's the difference between Dutch process and black cocoa?
Dutch process cocoa is treated to reduce acidity, giving a milder flavor. Black cocoa is extremely dark and intense, like what's used in Oreo cookies. Together, they create an amazing depth of chocolate flavor.
→ Can I make these without espresso powder?
The espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor but isn't crucial. You can omit it or substitute with a bit of strong coffee.
→ How do I get that shiny top?
Beat the eggs and sugar for the full 5-6 minutes. This incorporates air and creates that signature glossy brownie surface.
→ How should I store these brownie bites?
They'll keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
→ Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes! Simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Everything else stays the same.

Yield: 24 Servings (24 mini brownie bites)

Ingredients

→ Chocolate Base

01 85g (3 oz) bittersweet chocolate
02 150g (¾ cup) neutral oil
03 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar
04 142g (⅔ cup) brown sugar
05 3 eggs, room temperature
06 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

07 120g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
08 63g (¾ cup) Dutch process cocoa powder
09 21g (¼ cup) black cocoa powder
10 28g (¼ cup) espresso powder
11 ½ teaspoon salt

→ Mix-ins

12 127g (4.5 oz) bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped

Instructions

Step 01

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with softened butter, making sure to coat all the edges and crevices.

Step 02

Create a double boiler by placing a small bowl over a saucepan with about an inch of simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water). Add the bittersweet chocolate and oil to the bowl, stirring frequently until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 03

In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, room temperature eggs, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed for a full 5-6 minutes. The mixture should double in volume and become pale and fluffy, creating that signature shiny brownie top.

Step 04

With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour the cooled chocolate-oil mixture into the whipped egg mixture. Mix until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 05

Add the flour, Dutch process cocoa powder, black cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix on low speed just until mostly combined - a few streaks of flour are fine at this stage to avoid overmixing.

Step 06

Add the roughly chopped bittersweet chocolate to the batter and gently fold it in with a spatula until evenly distributed. The batter will be quite thick and fudgy.

Step 07

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, fill each cavity of the prepared mini muffin pan about ¾ full with brownie batter. Don't overfill or they'll overflow during baking.

Step 08

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). Be careful not to overbake or they'll lose their fudgy texture.

Step 09

Allow the brownie bites to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them. A small offset spatula can help if needed. Repeat the process with remaining batter until all brownie bites are baked.

Notes

  1. Beat eggs and sugar for the full time to achieve the shiniest top
  2. Brownie bites freeze beautifully for up to 3 months
  3. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or cocoa before serving
