I always make brownies in muffin pans. They are all crispy outside and chewy inside. Then we arent fighting over the corner pieces lol
I used 2 boxes of brownie mix to make 24 cupcake brownies. I add an extra egg. Spray the pans very well with nonstick spray and they’ll pop right out using the tip of a butter knife. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from pans

Crispy-Outside Chewy-Inside Brownie Cupcakes

Ingredients:

2 boxes (18-ounce each) brownie mix
4 large eggs (3 for the mix, 1 extra)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup water
Nonstick cooking spray
Optional: 1 cup of your favorite mix-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, etc.)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, melted butter, 3 eggs, and water. Stir until well combined. If desired, fold in your favorite mix-ins for added texture and flavor.
Grease the muffin pans thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray, making sure to coat the sides and bottoms of each cup.
Add the extra egg to the brownie batter and mix until it’s fully incorporated. The additional egg helps achieve that chewy texture.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, evenly distribute the brownie batter into the muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them as baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven. Insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake, and if it comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter), they’re done.
Allow the brownie cupcakes to cool in the pans for about 5 minutes. This cooling time helps them set and makes it easier to remove them from the pans.
After 5 minutes, use the tip of a butter knife to gently loosen the edges of each cupcake and pop them out of the muffin pans. Place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, enjoy your crispy-outside and chewy-inside brownie cupcakes! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for freshness.

Now you can indulge in your favorite brownie treat without the corner piece battles

Achieving the perfect balance of crispy outside and chewy inside in brownie cupcakes requires attention to detail and a few key tips. Here are some suggestions to make the best crispy-outside chewy-inside brownie cupcakes:

Extra Egg for Chewiness:
- Adding an extra egg to the brownie mix contributes to the chewy texture. The additional moisture and fat from the egg help create that desirable fudgy consistency.
Proper Mixing:
- Mix the brownie batter until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a more cake-like texture. Stir until the ingredients are well incorporated, but avoid excessive mixing.
Quality Brownie Mix:
- Choose a high-quality brownie mix for better flavor and texture. Look for mixes that emphasize fudginess rather than cakey brownies.
Melted Butter:
- Melted butter adds richness to the brownie batter and contributes to a chewier texture. Ensure the butter is fully melted and mixed into the batter.
Thorough Greasing:
- Use a nonstick cooking spray to thoroughly coat the muffin pans. This ensures easy release of the brownie cupcakes without sticking.
Mix-Ins for Texture:
- Consider adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or swirls of caramel for extra texture and flavor. These additions can enhance the overall experience of the brownie cupcakes.
Proper Baking Time:
- Keep a close eye on the baking time. Overbaking can result in dry brownies. Use a toothpick test to check for doneness – it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
Cooling Time:
- Allow the brownie cupcakes to cool in the muffin pans for about 5 minutes before attempting to remove them. This short cooling period helps them set and makes them easier to handle.
Gentle Removal from Pans:
- Use the tip of a butter knife to gently loosen the edges of each cupcake before popping them out. This helps prevent any sticking and maintains the cupcake’s shape.
Storage Considerations:
- Store leftover brownie cupcakes in an airtight container to retain their freshness. If you prefer a warm, gooey center, you can briefly microwave them before serving.
