Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 2 boxes of family-size brownie mix
- Ingredients required on the brownie mix boxes (typically eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 extra egg (for extra gooeyness)
Other
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s perfectly heated when you’re ready to bake.
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the two boxes of brownie mix with the required ingredients listed on the box, such as eggs, oil, and water. Add one extra egg beyond what the mixes call for to achieve an extra gooey texture, then mix until the batter is smooth and consistent.
- Prep the Muffin Pan: Generously spray two 12-cup muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make removal of the cupcakes effortless after baking.
- Fill the Cups: Divide the brownie batter evenly among the 24 muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for rising without overflow.
- Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes. The brownies should have set tops but remain soft in the center—avoid overbaking to keep them fudgy.
- Cool and Remove: Allow the brownie cupcakes to cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Use the tip of a butter knife around the edges to gently loosen and pop the cupcakes out without breaking.
- Serve and Enjoy: These brownies are perfect as-is or can be enhanced with toppings like powdered sugar, caramel drizzle, or a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent treat.
Notes
- Adding an extra egg makes the brownies more moist and gooey.
- Do not overbake to maintain a soft, fudgy texture.
- If you don’t have nonstick spray, grease the muffin pans with butter or oil.
- Let cupcakes cool slightly before removing to prevent breaking.
- Customize with toppings such as nuts, chocolate chips, or frosting.
