“I grew up in my parents’ bakery, which might explain why I don’t like frosting,” says Cindy Lang of Hays, Kansas. “These cupcakes are just my style! They come out shiny on top and are great without frosting.”

I really liked this recipe -- great for when you need a chocolate fix but don't want a ton of treats sitting around. I added about 1/8 Cup of mini chocolate chips that I tossed with a teaspoon of the flour to keep them from all sinking to the bottom of the cupcake. These were very tasty and I can't wait to make them again.

These cupcakes were easy to make but didn't like consistency. It came out kind of soft, not brownie type.

RE: Brownie Cupcakes

We really enjoyed this treat. I used walnuts instead of pecans. Would have liked for them to have more of a chocolate flavor and darker.

A previous recipe, I made the Almond coconut Brownies

but I wonder if there is too much butter or not enough flour? When baking the printed time, it was still not the consistently of a brownie bar???

I agree, just right for 2, we waste so much when I make a full recipe. My husband is very picky, and LOVED these (he wanted more!) I'm going to try with Truvia or Splenda to see if they come out as good, we are diabetics.

These are WONDERFUL. Perfectly moist and delicious. Our whole neighborhood got some (after I quadrupled the recipe) and they all raved about them and demanded the recipe!

Delicious recipe for two. I made only two and put them in two custard cups. We love brownies, but there is just to much. Sometimes I bake as usual and freeze the two extra.

The Brownie Cupcakes is a great recipe for me, as my husband does not like brownies and I love them. The recipe makes just four or five cupcakes and they are great tasting, quick and easy.

Very good. My guys went nuts over them. I used walnuts instead of pecans and still got a really good flavor result.

I was a bit disappointed that this only made 4. I had to double the recipe because my family loved them so much.
