Chewy Chocolate Brownie Bites

Have you ever craved the ultimate chocolate indulgence that fits right in the palm of your hand? Well, these Brownie Bites are the bite-sized wonders that pack all the chewy goodness of a classic brownie into a pop-able petite package.

Brownies are my weakness and since my Condensed Milk Brownie recipe became one of my all-time favorite recipes, I’ve realized that a lot of my readers love brownies too! I knew I wanted a brownie bite recipe on the site for the perfect mini treat!

From this homemade brownie recipe from scratch, you’ll get 24 mini bite-sized (okay, maybe two bites) brownie rounds that bring decadent chocolate flavor. They’re so great for sharing and for on the go!

And the best part? They’re as easy to bake up as they are to pop in your mouth! The brownie batter takes less than ten minutes and can be made in one bowl. Because as a busy mom and self-diagnosed chocoholic, sometimes I need to curb my craving without the fuss.

Brownie Bites Ingredient Highlights

I prefer using unsalted butter and adding my own salt, but you can use salted and omit the added salt. Make sure it’s softened for the best batter consistency. For help, check out How to Quickly and Easily Soften Butter.

Unsweetened cocoa powder is best. You can use dark, I used 100%. I also use dark chocolate chips, but semi-sweet or milk chocolate work, too.

How I Whip Up an Easy One-Bowl Brownie Batter

With a one-bowl batter, we have to strategically combine things to get that best result. Start by combining the butter and the sugar with a hand mixer until they are integrated.

Then, add your vanilla extract and eggs and combine.

As a general rule of thumb, it’s safest to crack your eggs into a separate dish first, rather than adding them directly into your batter. It’s the best way to avoid eggshells or a rare (but gross) bloody egg.

But let’s be real, I often “live on the edge” and crack ’em right in! Just consider yourself warned. 😉

Time for your flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Use the hand mixer to integrate those dry ingredients, mixing until there are no visible clumps.

Use a rubber spatula to scrape any dry ingredients hanging on to the sides of the bowl right into your batter. No ingredients left behind!

Pour the chocolate chips into the dough and use a rubber spatula to fold them in, until they are evenly distributed throughout the brownie batter.

Folding just means gently turning the batter over from the bottom to the top.

How I Perfectly Bake My Brownie Bites Every Time

Line or spray your muffin tin so they easily release once baked. Then, use a heaping tablespoon of batter to fill your prepped mini muffin tin with the brownie batter. Each little muffin cup should be filled about 3/4 of the way.

This brownie recipe makes enough batter for 24 equal-sized brownie rounds.

Bake the brownie bites on the top rack for 15-17 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Remember there are chocolate chips in these bite-sized brownies, so when I say “clean” I mean free from raw batter.

You may get some melted chocolate on your testing toothpick, but you should be able to tell the difference between that and raw batter because of the color and consistency.

Make sure to allow your brownie rounds to cool completely before trying to remove them from the muffin tin. Typically, I just flip my muffin tin over. Sometimes the bottom of the tin needs a little bang from the palm of your hand to encourage the brownie bites out!

If you try to remove them too early, before they’ve had a chance to cool and solidify, the top half may fall out and the bottom half may remain in the muffin tin which of course is not ideal.

Also noteworthy: as they cool, you may notice a little dip in the center of your brownie bites (though not always). This just means the center is slightly undercooked. They will still taste absolutely delicious, so no worries there!

How I Store Bite-Sized Brownies

Keep your brownie bites in an airtight container or cover them up to keep them fresh. At room temperature, these delicious fudgy rounds will stay delicious for 3-4 days. You can also store them in the refrigerator for about a week.

If you want to extend the life of your brownies, you can freeze them for up to 4 months in an airtight container. Of course, make sure to allow them to thaw at room temperature before biting into them.

And here’s a trick I learned from my mom that sounds kinda crazy but actually works! To keep the chewy, delicious texture, store your brownies with a piece of bread.
