Enjoy the best of both worlds with these Brownie Cupcakes that boast a perfectly crispy exterior and a delightfully chewy center. These cupcakes are easy to make using your favorite boxed brownie mix, making them a convenient and delicious treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
2 boxes of your favorite brownie mix
Ingredients required on the box (usually eggs, oil, and water)
1 extra egg (for extra gooey brownies)
Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Generously spray two 12-cup muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray.
Prepare the 2 boxes of brownie mix according to package directions.
Add one extra egg to the batter for extra chewy, gooey centers.
Divide the batter evenly among the 24 muffin cups.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly fudgy.
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Gently loosen each brownie cupcake with a butter knife and lift out.
Variation
Mix in white chocolate chips for a cookies and cream twist.
Add a swirl of peanut butter on top before baking for a nutty flavor.
Include a teaspoon of instant coffee in the batter for mocha brownies.
Cooking Notes
Watch the baking time closely to avoid overcooking the centers.
Insert a toothpick to ensure the cupcakes are ready – they should come out mostly clean with a few crumbs.
Use hot water in the mix for a shinier top on the brownies.
Serving Suggestions
Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
Drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce before serving.
Serve with fresh berries for a pop of color and freshness.
Tips
For crispier edges, don’t use liners just spray the pans well.
Add chocolate chips, nuts, or caramel bits for extra flavor.
These freeze beautifully!
