Super chocolatey with a deliciously gooey center, these Double Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes will be your new favorite dessert!
Happy Monday guys!
Well, today is anything but happy for me. I’ll be heading home to chilly Philly from sunny, 85 degree Naples, Florida. Wah wah!
I flew down to spend a few days with my mom, and believe me it’s just what the doctor ordered. The weather was beautiful, spending time with my mom was fabulous (as usual), and having nothing but resting and relaxing on the agenda was just what I needed.
Going from shorts and flip flops back to coats and cold weather is going to be a tough pill to swallow. So you know what that calls for? A Double Chocolate Brownie Cupcake!
We all know that chocolate makes everything better, and these brownie cupcakes have double the chocolate, a decadent gooey center, and a generous helping of chopped walnuts.
The only thing that would make these cupcakes better would be a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side! Enjoy!
Double Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes
Print Recipe Pin RecipeIngredients
- 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/3 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped (I use Diamond of CA walnuts)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Generously spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla until well blended. Add eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Add the flour and stir until well blended. Stir in the walnuts.
- Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups filling just a little over 3/4 full. Sprinkle each cupcake wirh some semisweet chocolate chips or chopped semisweet chocolate pieces.
- Bake from 18-20 minutes. Edges should be set but the cupcakes should still be gooey in the middle. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove carefully. Repeat with any remaining batter. Serve immediately with ice cream on the side, if desired.
How could you do this to me Mary Ann? We just got back from a lovely vacation where I ate nonstop and now I have to cut out sugar! And you tempt me with these beauties!? I’m saving these lovelies for when I can fit in my pants again. I hope you had a lovely vacation!
Oh no! Sorry Karen! These are so worth it though!
Over here, my watch shows it is about lunch time and I really wish I could have several cupcakes…. would not refuse vanilla ice cream as well :-) Thank you !
Perfect with the ice cream!! Happy Monday!
Omg yes please!
I thought you’d like these Alida!
What a wonderful idea and yes, these would improve the quality of any kind of day!
Yes!!
These look so intensely chocolate-y! I’d need more than one if I were going from hot and sunny to extra chilly. Safe travels home!
Oh, I’ll have no problem with that Kelsie!
A huge yes please to these! Who can resist chocolate with a gooey middle?!! Chocolate perfect :)
I can resist…said no one ever!
It’s so cold and windy here today so totally wish we had warmer temps! These brownie cupcakes will help make Monday a little better though ;) Maybe you’ll take some of that warmer weather back with ya!
This little min vacation could not have come at a better time Dawn! Brownie cupcakes when I get home for sure!
I’m thrilled you had a great time in Florida, Mare!! Hopefully the weather warms up in Philly for you! If not, just stuff your face with these cupcakes! I mean, they look like they can cure any woe! These look just fantastic and I know Boy would DEVOUR these in a heartbeat! I’m trying to do a little soul baking more often, so I’m pinning these bad boys for my next baking kitchen therapy session!! Yaass! XOXO
I know he’ll love them Chey! I saw your awesome chocolate chip cookies in your IG stories yesterday! Lucky Boy!
Naples back to Philly? Definitely calls for these beauties! Hopefully you’ll bring a little sunshine back with you!
Yes! I’ll definitely NEED a few of these Annie!
Anything double chocolate is perfect!
I agree Jennifer!
That gooey center sounds amazing! Wish I had a few of these. For breakfast.
Lol! I’d be good with that too Matt!
I’d wake up for these!
You’ll love them Eileen! Hope you give them a go!
A brownie cupcake? Sold! Sign me up for at least two!
Gotcha Leigh Ann!
These muffins look amazing!!
Thanks Bethany! They’re kind of a cupcake/brownie mix!
It’s cold and windy here today, so I would love a mini-vacation to Florida! But I will settle for a warm, chocolate, gooey brownie by the fire with a hot cup of tea! Happy Monday Mary Ann!
Perfect Leanne!
So sorry you have to leave the sunshine, but at least you’ve got these beauties to come home to!!
Yes! I’ll miss the beautiful sunshine and warm temps though! I’d much rather be enjoying these in Florida!
Have you tried these as Mini? How long to bake, I wonder.
Hi Victoria. No, I’ve only tried these in standard muffin tins. But I would think you’d bake at 325 degrees for about 10-14 minutes. Look to see when edges are set and then check middle. Enjoy!
So great that you got a good visit in with your Mom!! Beautiful sunny weather can’t hurt either, right?! I hope the transition to the cold wasn’t too shocking – these brownie cupcakes would definitely help!!
I had a wonderful time Katherine! She’ll be 86 in a few weeks! Tough coming back to the cold!
These look so decadent and totally irresistible!! I’d say these cupcakes would make ANY day better!
Thanks Lindsay!
These look AMAZING. They’d be dangerous to have in my house, though … they’d all be gone within minutes!
I’m sure they would Cassidy! Who doesn’t love brownies with extra chocolate?!
Oh goodness, you are going from one extreme to the other. Good thing you had some down time, though… doesn’t it feel good? We need more of it! There’s always room for chocolate… especially on Monday :/ And a brownie cupcake is always a good idea – with chocolate chunks on top – hello! Beautiful work Mary Ann!
It felt great Traci! Thanks so much!
OMG MaryAnn… you’ve outdone yourself. These look amazing. And you had me at chocolate!
Thanks so much Natasha!
You put two of my favorites together in one magnificent dessert. I hope everyone knows I won’t share. ;)
Lol! These are definitely hard to share!
I adore the combination of rich, dark chocolate and walnuts so these are literally making my mouth water!
Bring on the double chocolate, these are just perfect for the weekend! :)
Yes!! Happy weekend Laura!
I’m not a huge dessert eater – but I love making stuff for my co-workers – and this one is next in line! Gorgeous shots, Mary Ann! Glad you had a great time with your Mom. My mom is coming out for two weeks over the Memorial holiday – can’t wait!
I think they’ll really LOVE these Geraldine! Bet your mother will too! I’m sure you’re counting the days until you see her!
such the decadent treat to comfort yourself from being away from sunny florida. :) I am imagining how good these would be with that scoop of ice cream!
Perfect with the ice cream Emily!
These look so incredibly delicious. Double chocolate is right up my alley!
Mine too Cindy!
