Brownie Cupcakes with Cookie Dough Frosting

I saw these on a few cooking websites so thought I’d try these for myself and maybe give them a little twist.

These are pretty easy to make and I’l go through in a step by step basis.

Brownie Cupcakes

Now I’ve made 2 types of these. Chocolate brownie cupcakes and White Chocolate Brownie cupcakes. The ingredients are exactly the same except you substitute cocoa powder with white chocolate powder (I used hot chocolate mix which actually worked really well!)

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups self-raising flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
• 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 Tbsp milk

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees and line the muffin tins with paper cups.
2. Melt the butter in the microwave (make sure the bowl is microwave safe).
3. Mix in the sugar into the butter until smooth and microwave for about a minute.
4. Stir the mixture until smooth again.
5. Whisk in the Vanilla and Eggs.
6. In another bowl, add salt, cocoa powder OR white chocolate powder and flour. Whisk until mixed.
7. Slowly add the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
8. Fill muffins about 2/3 full.
9. Bake for about 8 – 10 mins and allow to cool completely before frosting.
