Crispy Brownie Bites

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Brownie Bites.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper—this will help your brownies come out perfectly without sticking.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and if you’re feeling adventurous, a dash of espresso powder for that extra kick.

3. Step 3

   Give it a good mix until everything is well blended, then gently fold in the beaten egg whites until they’re fully incorporated.

4. Step 4

   In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to bring the two mixtures together! Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined—remember, we want to keep it light and fluffy, so don’t overmix.

6. Step 6

   Spread the batter evenly onto your prepared baking sheet, aiming for a thin layer that resembles the thickness of a slice of American cheese.

7. Step 7

   Pop it into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 20 minutes, or until the batter is nearly set.

8. Step 8

   Once it’s out of the oven, take a sharp knife and gently cut a shallow square pattern into the surface of the batter—this will help create those perfect brownie squares later.

9. Step 9

   Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the edges to crisp up beautifully.

10. Step 10

    After that, let the brownies cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Step 11

    Once they’re cool, break them into squares and savor the deliciousness! Enjoy your homemade brownies, perfect for sharing or indulging all by yourself!.
