👩🍳 FAQs
Why do you think I made this recipe? Most definitely you can. You just have to adjust a little for the time needed for a smaller brownie bite.
10 minutes works perfectly for me, it makes perfect fudgy brownie bites.
I found giving the pan a spray with cooking spray (butter) works fine. They come loose with no problem. I give the brownie a little twist to get it moving before trying to pull out. You can use the help of a plastic fork to help get them out too.

I do not like leaving bad reviews. But in this case I feel I must. I am a seasoned baker. I bake once a month for our church cafe. Thought these would be a cute alternative to cookies. Bad choice. I baked ONLY 10 min, as you strongly suggest, in "pammed" mini muffin tins. Had to put back in for another 3 minutes and they would not release from the pans. Not only do I not have treats to take but a nasty bit of cleanup. I do not recommend this recipe.

Hi Linda, sorry you had a bad experience! I am not sure on the type of spray, or coated pan you used... these changes could make a difference I guess. I just used the butter spray then made sure to twist the brownie bites (sometimes with the help of a plastic fork) to get them out and they pop out fine. I also only like to bake for 10 minutes so that they're nice and fudgy... perhaps those extra minutes did something too?

Can I use cup cake liners?
Melanie Cagle says
You can if you find some really tiny ones.

Just wanted to comment that these turned out great for me. I was able to get 3 dozen bites out of one box and the listed ingredients. I was hesitant to make them based on one of the comments but am so glad I did. I'm baking for our church this weekend and wanted something quick and easy to grab from the trays that wasn't just a cookie. I made sure to spray the pan down really good and they came out smoothly for me. I used a grape seed oil spray that isn't always the best for nonstick but it did the job. Holding onto this recipe for future uses!

The brownies tasted great! I had some difficulty removing the brownies from my Pampered Chef mini muffin pan. I sprayed with baking spray and wiped out excess with paper towel. I think part of the sticking issue, for me, was too much mix in each cup. The second batch released from the pan much easier. I allowed them to cool in pan for 20+ minutes, ran a knife around the edge and they came out perfectly.
Melanie Cagle says
Excellent, I'm so glad you got it figured out in the end.
