2 Bite Brownies are rich, fudgy, and packed with deep chocolate flavors, but in a cute, tiny form that fits perfectly in a mini muffin pan.

If you love traditional brownies but want something a little smaller and easier to share, you’re going to love these 2 Bite Brownies!
They have perfect crackly tops, just like bakery brownies, but you don’t even need a fancy electric mixer to make them.
You’ll only need a few quality ingredients like cocoa powder, semi-sweet chocolate, and cane sugar. Just melt, mix, and bake!
Because they’re small, people can grab one (or two!) without feeling too full.
Plus, 2 Bite Brownies are easy to pack in lunchboxes or serve on a cookie tray.

HOW TO MAKE 2 BITE BROWNIES:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a mini cupcake pan with baking spray and set aside.
- Cut the butter into tablespoons.
- Place the chocolate chips in a large bowl and add the cut-up butter on top—place in the microwave and microwave for 30 seconds.
- Stir, microwave for another 30 seconds, and stir again. Continue to microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until everything is melted and smooth.
- Add the sugar to the chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing them in completely before adding the next.
- Stir in the vanilla.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a large bowl.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until combined with no dry patches left.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.

- Add 1 ½ tablespoons of the batter into each mini cupcake section. I like to use a cookie scoop for this.
- Sprinkle more chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean; you still want a few moist crumbs.
- Allow them to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and gently lift them out. Serve immediately or allow to cool completely.

FAQ: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:
WHY DID MY TOPS CRACKLE?
Just like traditional brownies, these brownie bites form a beautiful crackly top.
The slight crackling and any small air pockets are totally normal.
That’s what gives these brownie bites their wonderful texture, perfect treat, and classic look.
HOW TO GET THEM OUT?
Once baked, let the brownies cool for about 10 minutes.
Then, use a butter knife gently around the edges and lift them out of the mini muffin pan.
They should pop right out with no problem if you used baking spray.

ANY ADDITIONS?
The best experiences in life involve melted chocolate.
Maybe start there, haha!
- Sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty combo
- Stir in chopped walnuts or pecans
- Add mini marshmallows to the batter for a s’mores twist
- Press a peanut butter cup into the center for peanut butter brownies
- Mix in crushed candy canes for a minty holiday feel
- Stir in dark chocolate chunks for even richer flavor – talk about a heavenly moment of pure chocolate bliss!
- Drizzle melted white chocolate over the top after baking for a pretty main image
ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?
Let me know how yours turn out! I love hearing about it.
- Use chia eggs instead of regular eggs to make them egg-free
- Swap semi-sweet chocolate for dark chocolate if you prefer a less sweet flavor
- Replace all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend if needed
- Use dairy-free chocolate chips to make a dairy-free version
- Substitute coconut sugar for cane sugar if you want a more natural sweetener
- Try almond flour instead of wheat flour for a low-carb option

HOW TO STORE:
ROOM TEMPERATURE: Store your brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
They stay soft, fudgy, and perfect!
REFRIGERATOR: Keep them in the fridge for up to a week.
Just let them warm up a bit before eating for the best soft texture.
FREEZER: Freeze your brownies in a single layer first, then move them to a container or freezer bag.
They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months.
Let them thaw at room temperature or microwave briefly for a quick treat!
DANA’S TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Use a mini cookie scoop to make sure your brownies are all the same size for even baking.
- Melt butter and chocolate slowly in the microwave in 15-second bursts to avoid burning.
- Don’t overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients—it keeps the texture fudgy, not tough.
- Spray your mini muffin tin well or use mini cupcake liners for easy removal.
- Check early! Ovens vary. Start checking at 14 minutes with a toothpick.
- Top with extra mini chocolate chips before baking to create a gorgeous, bakery-style large image for your blog or social media.
