Ingredients

  • 1 cup hazelnuts, roasted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp espresso powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Мethod of preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Mix until well integrated. 3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition until the mixture is smooth and creamy. 4. Sift in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and espresso powder. Stir gently until just combined. 5. Fold in the roasted and chopped hazelnuts along with the vanilla extract and baking powder. Ensure that the batter is well-mixed but do not over-stir. 6. Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, portion the batter evenly into the lined muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full. 7. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a brownie bite comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking as the bites should remain fudgy in the center. 8. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the brownie bites to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. 9. Optionally, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the tops of the cooled brownie bites for an extra touch of decadence. 10. Serve your Hazelnut Espresso Brownie Bites with a hot beverage of your choice and enjoy the flavorful experience.
