Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, you can microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until melted. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Step 3
Whisk in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar into the melted butter and chocolate mixture until combined and glossy.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 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 comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for a fudgy texture.
Step 9
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the cinnamon brownie cupcakes on their own, or add a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence. Enjoy!
