Filled Brownie Cups

I absolutely love brownie cupcakes, maybe even more than regular square brownies. I like how they have a bit more crunch at the top and the inside is able to be filled. I chose Biscoff cookie butter for these because it has a lighter flavor. It makes the center sweeter without over powering the brownie. I gave them a little powdered sugar dust topping and that’s all they really need. They’re incredible as-is!

SPRINKLE OF CREATIVITY!

Since the Biscoff gives this more of a subtle taste, if you wanted more of a contrasting flavor, I would highly recommend peanut butter. Top them with drizzled peanut butter and some mini chocolate chips, and they would be incredible.

If you’re looking for an all-chocolate option, use Nutella instead of Biscoff. It’ll still have a creamy center but it will be a double dose of chocolate flavor.

I added powdered sugar to mine, but I’d also love melted Biscoff and a sprinkling of crushed cookies.

• 1 box fudge brownie mix + the ingredients listed on the package

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 12 cavity cupcake pan with liners. Preferably parchment liners, they work best with brownies and muffins! If you don’t have them then spray the inside regular cupcake liners with baking spray. 
2. Prepare the brownies according to the package directions. Next, fold in the mini chocolate chips. 
3. In a small to medium bowl, beat the cookie butter, cream cheese, egg, and sugar until smooth. 
4. Add the brownie batter to the liners, filling them 1/3 of the way. Top with a generous teaspoon of the cookie butter. Press down while you do it so that the cookie butter has enough room and doesn’t spread out as much. Top with another 1/3 of the batter so that they are 2/3 full. Repeat with the remaining cups. 
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. 
6. After 10 minutes, transfer them to a wire rack to cool. The sprinkle with powdered sugar and let them cool completely. The inside will be creamy/fudgy because of the filling while the outside has a nice light crunch!
7. If you want your brownies to be a little more “set,” place them in the fridge for about an hour. They have a whole new level of fudginess! 😉
