Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips and butter.
  • Heat in the microwave at 15 second increments, mixing often, until smooth and glossy.
  • Keep aside and let it cool for 3-4 minutes so that it's slightly warm but not boiling hot or else the eggs would end up cooking in the next step. 
  • While that's cooling, beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla, espresso powder (optional) in a separate mixing bowl
  • Add the cool chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and mix until smooth.
  • Add flour gradually and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  • Pour brownie batter in cupcake liners and bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until cupcakes are firm and tops are cracked. If you remove them from the oven before they have fully baked, they will collapse in the center. 
  • Let them cool down completely.
  • Frost them with chocolate buttercream icing. Enjoy!
