Chocolate Cherry Brownie Bites (Printable)

Fudgy brownie bites loaded with tart cherries and chocolate chips, ideal for quick indulgence or parties.

# What you'll need:

01 - 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

02 - 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

04 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

06 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar

07 - 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

08 - 2 large eggs, room temperature

09 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

10 - 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

11 - 3/4 cup dried tart cherries, roughly chopped

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with nonstick spray.

02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly blended. Set aside.

03 - In a large bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk vigorously until smooth and well incorporated.

04 - Add eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition until fully incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract.

05 - Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold together until just combined—do not overmix.

06 - Fold in chocolate chips and chopped dried cherries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

07 - Divide batter evenly among prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

08 - Bake for 16–18 minutes until tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.

09 - Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

01 -

The tart cherries cut through the rich chocolate so these never feel too heavy or sweet
Mini muffin size means you can grab one or three without committing to a whole slab
Theyre the kind of impressive little treat that makes people think you spent way more time than you actually did

02 -

Room temperature eggs incorporate much better than cold ones, so take them out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before you start baking
The toothpick test is tricky with brownies, moist crumbs are what youre looking for, not completely clean
These actually improve in texture after sitting for a day, if you can manage to have any leftovers

03 -

Chop the dried cherries into pieces that are roughly the same size as your chocolate chips for even distribution
If you only have standard muffin tins, the recipe works but you will get fewer, larger brownies and need to increase the baking time by a few minutes
