These fudgy mini brownie bites with walnut chunks offer a perfect balance of dense, gooey chocolate and crunchy toasted walnuts, making them an irresistible and easy-to-make treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (100g) chopped walnut chunks, toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line with mini paper liners.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove, then whisk in the granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, espresso powder (if using), and salt.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients gently into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Toss the chopped walnut chunks with a tablespoon of flour, then fold them into the batter.
  7. Spoon the batter into each mini muffin cup, filling about three-quarters full (yields about 24 mini bites).
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, checking at 12 minutes. The edges should look set but centers still slightly soft. A toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  10. Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid cakey brownies. Toast walnuts lightly in a dry pan for 3-4 minutes for best flavor. Start checking brownies at 12 minutes to keep centers fudgy. Use room temperature eggs to prevent batter seizing. For gluten-free, substitute flour with 1:1 gluten-free baking flour. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil but expect slight texture changes.
