Instructions
Brownie Cups
- Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin and set aside. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and chocolate until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth. Whisk in melted chocolate mixture until smooth. Slowly fold in flour, cocoa, and salt until batter is just combined.
- Fill prepared muffin cups 3/4 full of batter and bake brownies at 350F 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs sticking to it. Use the end of a wooden spoon to immediately indent the middle of brownie cups. Cool brownies completely in pan on a wire cooling rack. Then remove from pan and set aside.
