    Directions

      Step One: Make the Brownie Batter

      1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.

      2. If using my silicone mini molds, greasing is not necessary.

      3. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, baking powder, chocolate chips, and salt. Set aside.

      4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, butter, water, and vanilla.
      5. Combine the wet mix with the dry mix, stirring gently until combined.

      6. Pour or scoop approximately 45-50 grams of batter into each mold cavity. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until edges of brownies are set. Cool completely.

      7. Once brownies have cooled, remove from pan. *Note: chilled brownies remove easiest from mold.

      Make Your Buttercream

      1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter on medium-high speed for 5 minutes until pale and creamy.

      2. Add vanilla extract and then add the powdered sugar gradually, mixing on low speed at first to prevent a sugar cloud.

      3. Once incorporated, increase speed to medium and beat until smooth.

      4. Beat on medium-high speed for an additional 5 minutes until light and airy.

      5. Beat on lowest setting for another five minutes to remove air bubbles and smooth out buttercream.

      Add Your Buttercream Scoops

      1. Using a piping bag filled with buttercream or a Teaspoon mini scoop add a large dollop of buttercream to the center of each brownie. Note: I find this easiest to do once the brownies have already been placed in their lined boxes.

      Chocolate Drizzle and Toppings

      1. For the chocolate drizzle, melt ¾ cup melting wafers or chips in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is smooth, silky, and easy to drizzle.

      2. Note: if using semi-sweet chocolate chips for the drizzle, add 1 -2 teaspoons of coconut oil to thin the chocolate.

      3. Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag and drizzle over the top of each buttercream dollop for the perfect finishing touch.

      4. If desired, add a toppings of choice to each brownie while the chocolate is still soft.
