Ingredients
  

Batter Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter Room temperature helps with texture if not melted.
  • 2 cups granulated sugar This brings a familiar sweetness and helps with structure.
  • 1 cup brown sugar Adds a classic richness and a hint of molasses.
  • 4 large eggs Room temperature eggs blend more evenly.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract A small spoonful that lifts the flavor.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Measured by spooning into the cup and leveling off for consistency.
  • 1 cup cocoa powder Choose a cocoa you enjoy; it is the heart of the chocolate flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps give a gentle lift.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness and brightens the chocolate.
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips Little pockets of melty sweetness.
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips Soft, creamy contrasts that melt into the brownies.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a large bowl, melt the butter and stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined and smooth.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until just mixed, being careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in both the milk chocolate and white chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Baking

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving

  • Arrange brownie cups on a plate or stack them in a tin for giving. They feel at home with tea, coffee, or milk.

Notes

Store cooled cups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze in a single layer for up to two months.
