Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 2/3 cup (113g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped, plus more for topping
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons (55g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-process)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. Melt the chocolate and butter: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter together until smooth, stirring occasionally to combine fully.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, Dutch-process cocoa powder, and salt to ensure an even mixture.
  4. Mix eggs and sugar: In another large bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and slightly fluffy, which helps create a tender crumb.
  5. Incorporate melted chocolate: Slowly add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the egg and sugar mixture, stirring continuously so the batter becomes uniform and glossy.
  6. Add dry ingredients to wet: Gradually fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender and fudgy.
  7. Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Optionally, sprinkle additional chopped chocolate on top for an extra chocolaty touch.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  9. Cool and serve: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature for the ultimate fudgy experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute bittersweet chocolate with semisweet chocolate depending on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Be careful not to overbake to maintain the fudgy texture typical of brownies.
  • For a nutty variation, add ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter before baking.
  • Use fresh eggs and good-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
