Ingredients
Scale
Gather these ingredients, and let’s get baking:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, but recommended)
Feel free to swap semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate if you’re a fan of deeper flavors, or use walnuts if you’re out of pecans.
Instructions
Let’s dive into creating these little bites of heaven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Stir in the granulated sugar, followed by the eggs, one at a time. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined—remember, overmixing is the enemy of fluffy brownies.
- Divide the batter evenly among the mini muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- In a separate bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, and cinnamon. Spoon a small amount on top of each brownie.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
These are perfect for when you’re in the mood for a sweet treat that doesn’t require hours in the kitchen. A little tip from my experience—make sure to line your mini muffin tin with liners for easy removal!
