Ingredients
  

½ cup unsalted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup all-purpose flour

⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon instant espresso powder

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini cupcake liners.

    Melt the Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until completely liquid. Remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.

      Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk together until well blended. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and instant espresso powder. This helps to eliminate any lumps and ensures an even distribution of the cocoa and coffee flavors.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the brownie batter.

              Fill the Muffin Tins: Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup about ¾ full. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

                Cool the Brownie Bites: Once baked, remove the brownie bites from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired for an elegant touch. These brownie bites can be served warm or at room temperature.

                    Enjoy: Pair them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!
