Cocoa Brownies Muffin – bruffin – a delicious and original recipe that’s a cross between muffins and brownies, perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
Bruffins are as soft as muffins but chewy like brownies! A truly unique recipe that I absolutely recommend you try. My brownies muffins are the most classic version, with cocoa, but if you want to experiment, try adding a tablespoon of instant coffee!

Cocoa Brownies Muffin Bruffin Recipe

Begin preparing the cocoa brownies muffin bruffin by mixing all the dry ingredients, including the pinch of salt, in a bowl.
Mix well and try to break up any lumps of cocoa and flour.
In another bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until they double in volume.
Add the vanilla extract to the egg and sugar mixture.
The seeds from a vanilla bean are also good if you have them available.
Melt the butter in the microwave for a few seconds or in a small pan over low heat and let it cool slightly.
Add it to the rest of the liquid ingredients and mix well.
At this point, you can add the dry ingredients to the wet ones.
Do this in stages, fully mixing everything before each addition.
You should achieve a smooth and fairly thick batter.
Transfer the batter into the prepared cupcake liners filling them 2/3 full.
You can use a spoon, a scoop, or a piping bag.
Bake the cocoa brownies muffin bruffin in a preheated static oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25 minutes (do the toothpick test before removing from the oven).
Let them cool for at least 20 minutes before enjoying.
