Mini Egg Brownie Cups

A super simple brownie recipe gets transformed for Easter fun with these Mini Egg Brownie Cups. The brownies get baked in muffin liners, before adding a little indentation to act as a 'nest' for the mini eggs. Think fudgy brownie, lots of chocolate sauce and the fun that is chocolate Mini Eggs! 
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g Dark Chocolate Melted
  • 170 g Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 100 g Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 100 g Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Medium Free Range Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 85 g Plain Flour
  • 30 g Cocoa Powder
For the Nests
  • 6 tsp Chocolate Sauce or Melted Chocolate
  • 100 g Chocolate Mini Eggs

Method
 

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas Mark 6. Line 6-7 muffin holes with cupcake/muffin liners.
  2. In a small bowl, break up the dark chocolate and melt in the microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between to make sure it doesn't burn.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and both sugars. With an electric/stand mixer, go for a solid 3-5minutes so it is totally combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time and mixing in between. 
  4. Now, add the melted chocolate slowly (check it first, to make sure it isn't so hot that it will cook the eggs) and combine once again. 
  5. Add the flour and cocoa powder, fold gently until combined. Pour mixture into the lined muffin tins. This should easily fill about 6-7 - leave a little space at the top (1-2cm fine) as they will rise but shouldn't overflow!
  6. Bake 20-25 minutes, until the tops look crisp/shiny. Whilst warm, use something round, like the end of a wooden spoon, to create the indentation that will act as the nest. The holes don't need to be too deep or wide. Let cool.
  7. Once cool, add in the chocolate sauce and the mini eggs!
