Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 20 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams dried cherries, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the wells.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together over a double boiler or in the microwave using 20-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Gradually pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whisked eggs and sugar, stirring constantly to combine.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Fold in the chopped dried cherries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 7
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each well about 3/4 of the way full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center of a brownie bite comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 9
Remove the tin from the oven and let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the Cherry and Spice Brownie Bites plain or with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an elegant finish. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
