Serves: 16 brownie bites
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the brownies bake evenly and achieve the perfect texture.
- Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray. This will prevent the brownie bites from sticking and make for easy removal.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk them together until they are well combined and there are no lumps.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, add the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Use a whisk to mix them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, ensuring it is fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, and salt) to the wet ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense brownies.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter. This will give your brownie bites a delightful chocolatey surprise in every bite.
- Spoon the brownie batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. This allows room for the brownies to rise as they bake.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a brownie bite comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as you want them to remain fudgy.
- Once baked, remove the brownie bites from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Whole Wheat Double Chocolate Brownie Bites warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- • Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better texture • Don't overmix the batter - this keeps the brownie bites tender and soft • For extra indulgence, try using dark chocolate chips for a more intense flavor • Make sure to fill muffin cups only 2/3 full to allow proper rising • Let brownies cool completely to achieve the perfect fudgy consistency • Store in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness • For a fun variation, sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch • These bite-sized treats freeze beautifully for up to a month - perfect for make-ahead desserts!
