Categories     brownies

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces (340g, about 2 cups) semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons (141g) unsalted butter
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts, such as pecans or hazelnuts
about 1 cup white chocolate, milk chocolate, or other flavored chips, optional

Steps:

  • Place semisweet chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at half power in 30-second increments until the butter has melted and the chocolate melts when stirred. Stir until smooth. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 12 standard-size muffin cups or line them with paper liners.
  • Add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla to the cooled chocolate mixture. Use a mixing spoon or an electric mixer to mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Stir in the flour and salt, mixing just until combined. Stir in the nuts.
  • Fill each muffin cup about half full. Place about a tablespoonful of flavored chips on top of the batter. Cover with the remaining batter, filling each cup almost full.
  • Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until a pick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 cups granulated white sugar
4 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup dutch-processed cocoa powder, spooned and leveled
1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar sifted
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate bars, melted and cooled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line two 12 cup muffin pans with 12-14 cupcake liners and set aside.
  • Cupcakes: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Sift in the flour, cocoa and salt and stir just until combined. Using an ice cream scoop, spoon the batter into the prepared liners. Fill them about 3/4 to almost full.
  • Bake for 22-26 minutes until the tops look crinkly and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out slightly dirty. Do not overbake them or they will become cakey. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Then remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before frosting.
  • Frosting: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat butter on medium-high speed until soft and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Sift in the powdered sugar and mix until fully combined and smooth. Add the chocolate and mix until well combined and creamy. Pipe or spread onto the cooled cupcakes and serve. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the brownies will be. Use real butter, semisweet chocolate chips, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dense brownies. Mix only until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking the brownies will result in dry, crumbly brownies.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you want to make the brownies ahead of time, bake them and let them cool completely. Then, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before frosting and serving.

Conclusion:

These no-frost brownie cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are fudgy, chocolatey, and have a moist, tender crumb. The best part is that they don't require any frosting, so you can enjoy them straight out of the oven.
