Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a mini muffin pan with softened butter.

In a small bowl, add the chocolate and oil. Place over a small saucepan of simmering water, and stir often until fully melted. Set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed for about 5-6 minutes until the mixture has doubled in size.

While mixing on low speed, slowly pour in the chocolate oil mixture.

Once it is fully combined, add the flour, cocoa powders, espresso powder, and salt, and mix until mostly combined.

Lastly, fold in the chopped chocolate until evenly dispersed.

Add the brownie batter to the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ full.

Bake the brownie bites for about 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Allow them to cool for a few minutes in the pan before removing. Repeat with the remaining brownie batter.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bloom Your Espresso Powder 🌊
Mix espresso powder with a small amount of hot water before adding to the batter to activate and intensify its flavor, preventing a bitter, grainy taste in your brownies.
Don't Overmix After Adding Flour 🥄
Fold in your dry ingredients gently with just 8-10 strokes after combining to maintain the fudgy texture; overmixing develops gluten and creates a cake-like crumb instead of dense, chewy bites.
Use Melted Chocolate for Better Texture 🍫
Melt your bittersweet chocolate with the oil together rather than separately to create a silky, homogeneous base that ensures even distribution and superior fudginess throughout each bite.
Underbake for Maximum Fudginess ⏱️
Remove brownies when a toothpick inserted in the center shows just 2-3 moist crumbs (not wet batter) — residual heat continues cooking as they cool, yielding that perfect gooey center.
Sift Your Cocoa Powders Together 🎯
Combine both Dutch-processed and black cocoa powders and sift them with flour to eliminate lumps and ensure even cocoa flavor distribution, preventing bitter pockets of concentrated powder.
