Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
  • 7 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 medium eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Dutch process cocoa powder, sifted
  • 2 large egg whites, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with liners.
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir in melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form the crust.
  3. Par-bake the crusts for about 8 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
  4. Melt bittersweet chocolate and salted butter together in a double boiler or microwave until smooth; let it cool slightly.
  5. Whisk in granulated sugar, followed by eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. Fold in flour and cocoa powder until just incorporated; then gently fold in whipped egg whites.
  7. Spoon brownie batter over cooled crusts, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until tops are shiny with slight cracks.
  9. Let cupcakes cool before frosting with brown sugar frosting.
