Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F. Melt butter in sauce pan on low- don't let it boil otherwise it will begin to foam and separate. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl add sugar and whisk in butter. Whisk in vanilla. Make sure the mixture has cooled enough and then whisk in eggs one at a time until they are well incorporated. Slowly stir in flour-cocoa mixture. Stir until smooth. It should be thick and velvety.

At this point you have several options:
1) eat the batter
2) line a 9x13" baking pan with parchment paper leaving a overhang on two sides. Lightly grease the parchment with butter and pour in batter. Cook 20 to 25 minutes.
3) for a thicker brownie use a 9x9" pan, line with parchment, and grease with butter. Bake 23-28 minutes.
4) spray muffin tin or mini-muffin tin with floured baking spray. Fill cups about 2/3rd full - I like to use a large ziplock bag with a corner cut. Should make about 48 mini muffins or 1 dozen full size muffins. Bake minis 12-15 minutes. Bake regular muffins 15-18 minutes.

The picture shown is a full size muffin that was dusted with powder sugar. The minis can also be topped with a swirl of buttercream frosting.
