How to Make Perfect Brownie Cupcakes
If you love brownies but want to avoid the usual hassle of cutting them or fighting over the corner pieces, try baking them in muffin pans! This method ensures every brownie is perfectly crispy on the outside and delightfully chewy on the inside. Plus, it’s a fun and easy way to serve individual portions. Here’s how I make 24 brownie cupcakes using two boxes of brownie mix.
Ingredients and Preparation
To make these brownie cupcakes, you’ll need:
- 2 boxes of brownie mix
- The ingredients listed on the box (plus an extra egg for a richer texture)
- Nonstick cooking spray
Start by preparing the brownie batter according to the instructions on the box, but add an extra egg to the mix. This helps create a fudgier and chewier texture.
Baking Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Spray the muffin pans generously with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the brownies don’t stick.
3. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the brownie batter.
4. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the centers are set.
Tips for Success
- Let the brownie cupcakes cool in the pans for about 5 minutes before removing them. This makes them easier to handle.
- Use the tip of a butter knife to gently loosen and pop them out of the pans if needed.
Conclusion
Baking brownies in muffin pans is a game-changer! Not only does it guarantee evenly baked treats with the perfect texture, but it also eliminates the struggle over corner pieces. Give this method a try, and enjoy delicious, individually portioned brownie cupcakes every time!
