Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Pan:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a cupcake or muffin pan with oil or nonstick spray.
Make the Brownie Batter:
In a large bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder.
Beat until smooth and well combined.
Add the all-purpose flour and mix just until no dry streaks remain.
Bake and Shape:
Spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake pan, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
Remove from the oven and immediately press down the centers of each brownie with a flat-bottomed object (like a shot glass or small spoon) to create a bowl shape.
Cool and Serve:
Let the brownie bowls cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely—about 30 minutes.
Serve filled with your favorite ice cream, whipped cream, or fruit!
