Soft and slightly fudgy red velvet brownie bites with a hint of cocoa and subtle tang, perfectly portioned for parties, holidays, or an easy sweet treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line with paper liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix melted butter and sugar until smooth.
  4. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, stirring until fully combined.
  5. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in white chocolate chips if using.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Top with cream cheese frosting for a classic red velvet flavor.
  • Substitute dark chocolate chips or chopped pecans for added texture.
  • Avoid overbaking to keep the bites soft and fudgy.
  • Store unfrosted bites at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months and thaw at room temperature before serving.
