Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 boxes family-size brownie mix
- Ingredients listed on the brownie mix box (typically eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 extra egg (for extra gooeyness)
- Nonstick cooking spray (for greasing pans)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when your batter is mixed.
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the contents of both brownie mix boxes with the number of eggs, oil, and water specified on the brownie mix packaging. Then add one additional egg to enhance the gooey texture. Stir the mixture until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Prep the Muffin Pan: Generously spray two 12-cup muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray. This step is key to making sure the brownie cupcakes can be removed easily after baking.
- Fill the Cups: Evenly divide the brownie batter among the 24 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow space for rising.
- Bake: Place the pans into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes. The brownie cupcakes are done when the tops appear set but remain soft in the centers—try not to overbake to keep them fudgy.
- Cool and Remove: Allow the brownie cupcakes to cool in the muffin pans for 5 minutes. Then, carefully run a butter knife around the edges and gently pop them out of the pans.
- Serve and Enjoy: These rich brownie cupcakes are wonderful on their own or can be enhanced with powdered sugar, caramel drizzle, or a scoop of ice cream for an extra special treat.
Notes
- Adding an extra egg enhances the gooey texture of the brownie cupcakes.
- Be careful not to overbake; the centers should remain soft for that perfect fudgy bite.
- Use nonstick cooking spray generously to make removal easier and maintain cupcake shape.
- Feel free to customize with toppings like powdered sugar, caramel sauce, or ice cream for serving.
