Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a mini muffin pan or line with paper liners.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup packed brown sugar until combined. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Sift in 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Fold gently until just combined, then stir in 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  4. Step 4: Spoon batter evenly into the mini muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full. Bake for 12-14 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  5. Step 5: Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer brownies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
