Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 150 g sugar
• 150 g butter
• 180g chocolate, divided
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 60 g all-purpose flour
• A pinch of salt
• 40 g unsweetened cocoa powder
• Chocolate chips for decoration

Instructions:

1. Prepare the chocolate mixture:
   • Mix 90g of chocolate and the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Leave to cool slightly.
2. Mix the dough:
   • In a large bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. This aerates the batter, giving the brownies their signature texture.
   • Gradually stir in the melted chocolate and butter mixture until well combined.
3. Dry ingredients:
   • Sift together the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Gently fold into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix or collapse the dough.
4. Add chocolate and bake:
   • Chop the remaining 90g of chocolate into small pieces and incorporate them into the dough with a handful of chocolate chips.
   • Pour batter into a mini muffin pan lined with paper liners or well greased. Sprinkle top with additional chocolate chips.
   • Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
5. Let cool and serve:
   • Let the brownies cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows the brownies to set and makes them easier to handle.

Enjoy these decadent mini chocolate chip brownies as a delicious treat that brings joy and a touch of luxury to your dessert table, making every ordinary day a special occasion.
