Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to bake a batch of these delicious brownie bites:

• Granulated sugar: Adds sweetness.
• Unsweetened cocoa powder: Enhances the chocolate flavor.
• All-purpose flour: Provides structure and texture.
• Salt: Enhances the overall flavor.
• Baking powder: Helps the brownies rise and become light and airy.
• Unsalted butter: Melted and cooled slightly, adds richness and flavor.
• Eggs: Large, bind the ingredients together.
• Vanilla extract: Adds a touch of warmth and sweetness.
• Mini Eggs: Adds a chocolatey crunch and a festive touch.

How to Make Mini Egg Brownie Bites

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease two muffin tins generously with cooking spray or line them with paper liners to prevent the brownies from sticking.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, sift together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.

Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. You can use a spoon, a hand mixer, or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4: Add Mini Eggs

Crush 1 cup of the Mini Eggs and gently fold them into the batter. You can crush them by placing them in a ziplock bag and rolling over them with a rolling pin. You want the Mini Eggs to be in smaller pieces, but not completely pulverized.

Step 5: Bake and Decorate

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Remove the muffin tins from the oven and immediately press the remaining Mini Eggs gently into the tops of the brownie bites. Return the muffin tins to the oven and bake for another 3 minutes to allow the Mini Eggs to soften slightly.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Remove the muffin tins from the oven and let the brownie bites cool slightly in the tins before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
