The Ultimate Chocolate Brownie Muffins Recipes

ULTIMATE BROWNIE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Line 12 muffin cups with liners. Set aside.
• To make the brownies: In a medium heatproof bowl, place chocolate and butter. Heat mixture in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until melted. Alternatively, you can set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
• In a small bowl sift flour, cocoa, and salt. Set aside.
• Using a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk eggs and sugar on high speed until thick and pale, about 4 minutes. Reduce speed to low and slowly add in chocolate mixture. Stop the mixer. Add flour mixture and fold, using a rubber spatula, just until combined. Do not overmix.
• Divide batter between liners, filling them about ¾ full. Bake for 13-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out with moist crumbs and not dry. Be careful not to overbake as this will make the brownies dry. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Allow muffins to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Allow to reach room temperature before serving.

CHOCOLATE BROWNIE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Lightly oil a 12-cup muffin tin.
• Cut white chocolate into 12 small cubes (don't worry if they break a bit). Finely chop semi-sweet chocolate.
• In a medium-size bowl, whisk eggs. Whisk in buttermilk, butter, sugar and vanilla. Place flour in a very large bowl. Using a fork, stir in cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and baking soda, making sure no clumps of cocoa remain. Stir in semi-sweet chocolate. Pour in egg mixture and stir just until evenly mixed.
• Spoon 1 heaping tbsp (20 mL) into each muffin cup. Then place a cube of white chocolate into centre of each. Fill with batter to rims.
• Bake in centre of preheated oven until a cake tester inserted into centre of muffin comes out clean, except for any melted chocolate, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove pan to a wire rack. Cool 15 minutes, then turn out. Serve warm or cool completely on a wire rack.
• Once muffins are cooled down to room temperature, they will keep well in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days. Or place in an airtight plastic container and freeze. Or wrap separately in plastic wrap or waxed paper, then over-wrap with foil and freeze up to 1 month. Alternatively, place muffins in freezer just until firm, then pop into a large plastic bag. Seal and freeze. This will keep them from sticking together.
