Instructions
How To Make Gluten Free Brownie Bites
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray your mini muffin pan with non stick cooking spray.
- Either melt the butter in a medium-sized bowl in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in a small saucepan on the stove. Add butter mixture to stand mixer or a large bowl, mix in cocoa powder until well combined. Add eggs one at a time and mix just for a second to combine
- Add baking powder, vanilla, Irish cream liquor, and salt, blend well. Add in the flour ½ cup at a time until fully combined. Take the bowl off the mixer and stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of batter into the individual spots of the prepared mini muffin pan. Cook brownie bites for 12-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean in the center.
- Remove brownie bites from the oven and allow them to cool for approximately 8-10 minutes before using a mini-tart tamper to press into each brownie. If you do not have a tart tamper you can use the backside of a tablespoon to press down into the brownies.
- Use a butter knife to carefully scrap around the outside of the browie bitesto remove them from the mini muffin pan and place them on a cooling rack.
How To Make Irish Buttercream
- Melt your butter in a medium sized bowl in the microwave.
- You can use a whisk, stand mixer, or hand mixer for this. Add butter and a pinch of salt to the powdered sugar and beat until creamy. Add in Irish cream liqour and mix until smooth. Add green food coolering until you reach your dessired color.
- Scoop your butter cream into a piping bag with a star tip (Wilton 4B) and pipe butter cream into the middle of brownie bite. Top with mini chocoalte chips.
Notes
If brownies rise a little gently use a spoon to press them down to look flat as soon as you remove them from the oven. It will make it easier to press the mini-tart shaper into the brownie if they are not rounded.
Make sure to use a 1 for 1 gluten-free baking flour, I like to use Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking flour. 1 for 1 baking flour will already have the xanthan gum in it to make your brownies chewy.
If you are celiac or 100% gluten-free make sure to use a gluten-free Irish cream I used Carolans Irish Cream in these and it is gluten free. You can also just use regular heavy whipping cream and leave out the Irish cream.
