Ingredients

• 115 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
• 170 g (1 cup) semisweet chocolate chips
• 150 g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 65 g (1/2 cup) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 60 g (1/2 cup) powdered sugar
• 1–2 tsp milk
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line with paper liners.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.

3. Whisk in the sugar, then add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

4. Add flour and salt, folding gently until just combined—do not overmix.

5. Divide batter evenly among mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

6. Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Do not overbake.

7. Cool brownies in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. For the icing, mix powdered sugar with 1 teaspoon milk and vanilla extract, adding more milk as needed until a thick but pipeable consistency forms.

9. Transfer icing to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small tip. Pipe two curved lines on each brownie bite, then add small perpendicular lines to resemble baseball laces.

10. Let icing set before serving.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Pay close attention when folding in the flour and salt to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the brownies. Use a microwave-safe bowl that allows easy stirring during melting, and ensure the melted chocolate mixture cools slightly before adding eggs to prevent scrambling.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a playful variation, add chocolate chips or nuts into the brownie batter. Use red food coloring in the white icing to create authentic-looking baseball laces. You can also experiment with different sized muffin tins for larger or smaller bites.
