This easy crinkly brownie muffins recipe is a chocolate lover's dream. With a rich and fudgy center and a perfectly crinkled top, these muffins combine the best of brownies and cupcakes into one delightful treat.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These muffins can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For a fun variation, try adding chopped nuts or a swirl of peanut butter to the batter.
