Instructions

Prepare the Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the granulated sugar, stirring well to integrate. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure a smooth blend. If using, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance flavor.
Add Dry Ingredients: Sift together the cocoa powder and all-purpose flour, then gradually fold them into the wet mixture. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and uniform in texture, avoiding overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
Fill Mini Muffin Tins: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease mini muffin tins or line them with mini cupcake liners. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared tins, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for baking.
Bake the Brownie Bites: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the brownie bites are set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center. Use a toothpick inserted in the middle to check doneness; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Cool and Serve: Remove the brownie bites from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving to help them firm up for easier handling.

Notes

For extra fudginess, avoid overbaking; the centers should still be slightly soft when removed from the oven.
Feel free to add chocolate chips or nuts for added texture and flavor.
Store leftover brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Freeze baked brownie bites for up to 1 month; thaw before serving.
Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
