4. Fold in chocolate chips and optional nuts with a spatula.

5. Evenly spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

7. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für einen intensiveren Schokoladengeschmack kann eine Prise Espressopulver zugegeben werden. Die Verwendung von glutenfreiem Hafermehl sorgt für eine angenehm lockere Textur. Achten Sie darauf, die Bites nach dem Backen vollständig abkühlen zu lassen, damit sie ihre optimale Konsistenz erhalten.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Für eine vegane Variante kann Ahornsirup statt Honig verwendet werden sowie Eier durch Leinsamen-Eier ersetzt werden. Nüsse können nach Belieben weggelassen oder gegen andere Samen ausgetauscht werden, um Allergien Rechnung zu tragen.

Serviervorschläge

Die Brownie Bites schmecken fantastisch pur, aber auch mit einem Klecks griechischem Joghurt oder einer frischen Beerenkompott als Topping serviert. Sie eignen sich perfekt als Snack für zwischendurch oder als kleiner Nachtisch zu einer Tasse Kaffee.
