Brownie Bites with Sea Salt

Not too dense, not too cake-like, these brownies are a step up from Sam's, BJ®'s or Costco®'s brownie bites. The consistency is perfect and the sea salt finishes them perfectly.

Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 4 eggs
• ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• fleur de sel (sea salt flakes) to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a mini muffin tin with plain or seasonally colored paper liners.

Step 2

Combine butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Mix vigorously with a wire whisk until butter is incorporated but you can still see bubbles of butter in the batter. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix gently until just incorporated; do not overmix.

Step 3

Divide batter among the muffin cups using a small ice cream scoop. Gently cover the top of the brownies with a dusting of sea salt flakes.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
