Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Bites
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature before baking your brownie bites.
- Mix Peanut Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, blend the peanut butter and sugar together until you achieve a smooth consistency, incorporating the sweetness evenly into the peanut butter.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Crack in the eggs and pour in the vanilla extract, then mix thoroughly to combine all the wet ingredients, creating a uniform batter.
- Incorporate Flour and Chocolate Chips: Gently stir in the all-purpose flour and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter, making sure not to overmix.
- Prepare Baking Tin and Pour Batter: Grease a mini muffin tin lightly to prevent sticking, then spoon the batter evenly into each mini muffin cup, filling them appropriately.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the brownies are set around the edges but still moist inside.
- Cool and Remove: Allow the brownie bites to cool in the tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool completely, preventing breakage.
Notes
- Use natural peanut butter without added oils for a healthier option.
- Do not overbake; these bites are best when fudgy inside.
- Feel free to substitute dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
- Mini muffin tins work best for bite-sized treats, but regular muffin tins can be used for larger servings.
