Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until completely smooth and glossy. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Gradually mix the cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter fudgy.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. If desired, sprinkle a few chocolate chips over the top of each cupcake for extra texture and flavor.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out with just a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for a fudgy texture).

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy these rich, fudgy brownie cupcakes plain, or pair them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat.
