Ingredients
- 1 cup 200g granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup 115g unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/4 cup 30g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup 95g all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare your oven and tray
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease your mini muffin tray or line it with small paper liners. I personally prefer a light greasing—it gives the edges a beautiful slight crispness.
Step 2: Mix butter and sugar
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Whisk until the mixture looks glossy and smooth. This step helps create that signature shiny brownie top.
Step 3: Add eggs and flavoring
- Crack in the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then add vanilla extract, red food coloring, and vinegar. The batter will turn a gorgeous deep red—this is always my favorite moment.
Step 4: Combine dry ingredients
- In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Sifting prevents lumps and ensures a smooth batter.
Step 5: Bring it all together
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be gentle—overmixing can make the brownies dense instead of tender.
- If you’re using white chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
Step 6: Fill the tray
- Spoon the batter into the mini muffin tray, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Step 7: Bake
- Bake for 10–12 minutes. The tops should look set, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs—not completely clean.
Step 8: Cool and serve
- Let the brownie bites cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack. This prevents them from becoming soggy.
- And just like that, your Red Velvet Brownie Bites Recipe is ready to enjoy.
