Easy to prepare using brownie mix, these cupcakes are quick to bake and perfect for sharing or special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 boxes of family size brownie mix
- Ingredients listed on the brownie mix boxes (usually eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 extra egg (for extra gooeyness)
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the brownie cupcakes.
- Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine both boxes of brownie mix with the required ingredients as listed on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water. Add one additional egg to increase the gooey texture. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
- Prepare the Muffin Pans: Generously spray two 12-cup muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the cupcakes after baking.
- Fill the Muffin Cups: Divide the brownie batter evenly among the 24 cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
- Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. The brownie cupcakes should have set tops but remain soft in the center; avoid overbaking to maintain moistness.
- Cool and Remove: Allow the brownie cupcakes to cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Then carefully run a butter knife around the edges and pop them out.
- Serve: Enjoy the brownies as they are, or enhance them with toppings like powdered sugar, caramel drizzle, or a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Adding the extra egg improves the fudginess and gooey texture of the brownie cupcakes.
- Don’t overfill the muffin cups to prevent overflow during baking.
- Letting the cupcakes cool slightly before removing them ensures they hold their shape better.
- Try different toppings like nuts, chocolate chips, or frosting to customize.
- Use nonstick spray to avoid the need for paper liners and achieve a smooth bottom.
