📜 A QUICK HISTORY OF BROWNIES

Brownies date back to the early 1900s in the U.S. The origin story? A chef at Chicago’s Palmer House Hotel supposedly forgot to add baking powder to a chocolate cake and… boom! The brownie was born. Fast forward a century and we’ve got thousands of variations—cakey, fudgy, frosted, you name it. But one universal truth remains:

Everyone fights over the corner.

Until now. 😏


🍫 INGREDIENTS

🧁 For the Brownie Bites:

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter
  • 8 oz (225g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 ¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) light brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs + 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips or chunks
  • Optional: ½ tsp espresso powder (enhances the chocolate flavor)

❤️ For the Lovers’ Touch:

  • A pinch of cinnamon or chili powder for heat
  • Add-ins: caramel bits, peanut butter cups, or raspberries
  • Toppings: sea salt flakes, mini marshmallows, or crushed peppermint

🥣 INSTRUCTIONS & METHOD

🔥 Step 1: Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line with paper liners.

🍫 Step 2: Melt Butter & Chocolate

  • In a heatproof bowl, melt butter and chopped chocolate together (double boiler or microwave in 30-sec bursts).
  • Stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

🧁 Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, egg yolk, sugar, and brown sugar until thick and pale (about 2–3 mins).
  • Add vanilla extract.

🧂 Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder.
  • Slowly add the dry mix into the wet mix. Don’t overmix—just combine.

🍫 Step 5: Add the Melted Chocolate

  • Stir the cooled butter/chocolate mixture into the batter until glossy.
  • Fold in chocolate chips or your favorite add-ins.

🧁 Step 6: Fill the Muffin Pan

  • Spoon batter evenly into the muffin pan—fill each about ¾ full.
  • Optional: sprinkle a bit of sea salt or crushed peppermint on top before baking.

⏲️ Step 7: Bake to Perfection

  • Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  • Let them cool in the pan for 10 mins, then remove to a wire rack.

🔍 FORMATION & TEXTURE

  • Crinkly, shiny tops that scream eat me.
  • Crispy muffin edges for the corner-lovers.
  • Thick, fudgy centers for the gooey gang.
  • Perfectly portioned, no slicing needed.

It’s the best kind of love triangle: crisp, chewy, and melty.
