Cake Pop Maker Brownie Bites

Ingredients & Tools

With the melted dark chocolate mixed right into the batter, these cake bites are everything you expect a brownie to be, in a mini snackable form! The low flour content keeps these brownie cake pops nice and fudgy and the dark chocolate elevates the richness.

• 1 cup flour
• 1 ¼ cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 6 ounces dark chocolate bar - broken into pieces
• 5 ounces butter
• 3 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Tips

If you don’t have all of the equipment required in this recipe, don’t worry. Follow these tips:

• A mixing spoon works just as well as a whisk.
• A microwave can be used in place of a double boiler. Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave, in a microwave safe bowl, at 20 second intervals. Stir each time until fully melted.
• If you don’t have a piping bag, a plastic zip top bag with the corner cut off works just as well. Or, you can skip the bag and use a teaspoon.
• Technically, if you don't have a cake pop baker, this brownie bites recipe can even be baked in a sheet pan and cut into different shapes.

How to Make These Brownie Bites

1. Combine dry ingredients. In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients (flour, sugar and baking powder).
2. Add wet ingredients. Melt the chocolate and butter together using a double boiler, or place a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water and add the chocolate/butter to the bowl to melt it, stirring occasionally. Add the melted chocolate/butter mixture to the dry ingredients and mix together with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
3. Bake. Lightly oil the cake pop maker cooking plates. Plug it in to preheat. Pour brownie batter into a piping bag. With the piping bag, transfer the batter into the cake pop maker cavities, to just below the top of the cavity. (Alternatively, you can use a teaspoon to transfer the batter.) Close the lid and bake for about 8 minutes, or until baked through. I like to use a narrow spatula with a heat glove on to remove them.
4. Serve. They will be hot inside, so let them cool and enjoy!

Storage

• Store these bites in an airtight container to preserve freshness, and enjoy for up to 4 days!
• If you don’t want to make the full batch at once, you can freeze the brownie batter for later use.
• You can also freeze the baked cake bites in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
