Chewy Cocoa Brownie Bites

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a mini-muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the cavities.

2. 2

   Sift the maida flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl. Set aside.

3. 3

   Place the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for 4–5 minutes, until thick, pale, and increased in volume.

4. 4

   Gradually add the water while mixing on low speed until evenly incorporated.

5. 5

   Add the sifted dry ingredients in two batches. Fold gently with a spatula just until no dry streaks remain; avoid overmixing.

6. 6

   Divide the batter among the prepared mini-muffin cavities, filling each about three-quarters full.

7. 7

   Bake for 10–13 minutes, until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.

8. 8

   Let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. Cool completely before serving for the chewiest texture.
