Chocolate Brownie Bites Nuts (Printable)

Fudgy chocolate bites with crunchy mixed nuts, perfect for indulgent snacking or sharing at gatherings.

# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
06 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
07 - 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Add-Ins

10 - 1 cup mixed nuts, roughly chopped (walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts)
11 - 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)

# How To Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly.
02 - Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
05 - Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
06 - Gently fold in chopped nuts and chocolate chips if using.
07 - Spoon batter evenly into mini muffin cavities, filling each about three-quarters full.
08 - Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until tops are set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
09 - Cool in pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They're genuinely fudgy without being dense or heavy—the kind of bite you can pop in your mouth without guilt.
  • Mixed nuts add a satisfying crunch that keeps things interesting, unlike plain chocolate brownies.
  • One batch makes 24, so you've got plenty for snacking through the week or bringing to a potluck without spending hours baking.
02 -
  • Do not overbake—the toothpick should come out with moist crumbs, not clean. They keep cooking as they cool, and that's where the fudgy magic happens.
  • Melted butter is non-negotiable for this texture; creaming butter and sugar won't give you the same result because you need that moisture.
03 -
  • Room-temperature eggs incorporate more smoothly into the wet mixture, creating a silkier batter.
  • Paper liners aren't just convenient—they help these delicate bites maintain their shape and peel away cleanly without sticking.
