Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 2 boxes of brownie mix (including additional ingredients as per package instructions such as eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 extra egg (for extra gooey brownies)
For Preparation
- Nonstick cooking spray (for greasing the muffin pans)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray two 12-cup muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare brownie mix: Prepare the brownie mix as directed on the box, but be sure to add one extra egg than is called for to make the brownies extra gooey and moist.
- Fill muffin cups: Evenly divide the brownie batter among the 24 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow the brownies space to rise and spread while baking.
- Bake the brownies: Place the muffin pans in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. The tops should appear set, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, indicating perfect doneness.
- Cool and remove: Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, gently run a butter knife around the edges of each muffin to loosen them and carefully pop each brownie muffin out of the pan.
- Serve or store: Serve the brownie muffins warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgence, or let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Adding an extra egg increases moisture and gooeyness in the brownie muffins.
- Filling muffin cups 3/4 full prevents overflowing and ensures even baking.
- Use a toothpick test to avoid overbaking; moist crumbs indicate perfect texture.
- Cooling slightly before removal helps keep the muffins intact and prevents breaking.
- Store cooled brownie muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
