Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp honey
Flavor Enhancers and Mix-ins:
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cavity.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl to eliminate any lumps and ensure smooth batter consistency.
- Whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, milk, and honey in a separate bowl until the mixture becomes smooth and well-integrated.
- Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to create a rich, glossy chocolate batter without overmixing.
- Incorporate peanut butter into the batter, creating swirls and pockets of nutty flavor throughout the mixture.
- Gently stir in chocolate chips and chopped peanuts, distributing them evenly to ensure each bite contains a delightful crunch.
- Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the brownie bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack and dust with additional cocoa powder for an elegant finishing touch.
- Allow to cool completely before serving, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
Notes
- Sift dry ingredients meticulously to prevent clumpy brownies and ensure a smooth, velvety texture that melts in your mouth.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a tender, fudgy consistency that’s characteristic of perfect brownie bites.
- Experiment with alternative nut butters like almond or cashew for unique flavor variations that cater to different taste preferences.
- Consider using gluten-free flour blend to make the recipe suitable for those with wheat sensitivities while maintaining the rich chocolate taste.
