How to Make Spinach Brownie Bites From Scratch
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
- Steam 1 cup of fresh spinach until wilted. Drain thoroughly and squeeze out excess water. Puree the spinach using a food processor or blender, adding 1-2 tablespoons of apple juice to help create a smooth consistency.
- In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler), melt 6 ounces (170g) of semi-sweet chocolate and 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter. Stir until smooth and remove from heat. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the sugar mixture and whisk until combined.
- Whisk in 2 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the pureed spinach and 1/2 cup (70g) chocolate chips.
- Fill each mini muffin cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
