Brownie Bites

I'm baking a dessert for Emily, so it is chocolate. It is generally round as well.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/ 2 cups flour
• 2 cups sugar
•  2/ 3 cup cocoa powder
•  1 teaspoon salt
•  1 cup coconut oil, room temperature (or butter)
• 4 eggs
•  2 teaspoons vanilla
• Optional - powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven 350F.
2. Coat the wells of a mini bundtlette pan with baking spray (or cooking spray + powder with flour.)
   (I also coated the wells of a 24 well mini muffin pan with cooking spray.)
3. Mix the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa, salt in a stand mixer bowl.
4. Add the eggs, vanilla, and coconut oil. Mix on low for 30 seconds to combine all ingredients, then mix on medium for 2 minutes. 
5. Use a small 2 teaspoon cookie scoop to fill all the wells about 3/4 full.
   (I used a slightly less full scoop for the stars and hearts.)
6. Tap the pans on the counter on a folded kitchen towel. Level the dough in each well with a greased finger. 
7. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes.  (I baked these for 15 minutes - if you leave them for awhile in the pan, the edges will be crunchy.)
8. Let cool 5 minutes or so, then tap pan on the counter on a folded kitchen towel. You should be able to flip out the brownie bites.

Carole's Notes:

We liked these! I almost made a half recipe, but realized that Doug would want some as well!
The recipe above made 30 mini bundtlettes brownie bites, 24 mini muffins brownie bites, and 6 cupcake sized brownies.



Next time I will probably only cook them for 13 minutes, so the edges will be softer for Doug.
