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

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
