Would someone please stop me from eating all of these Flourless Brownie Muffins?
Just kidding. I’d actually like to keep eating them.
And also, I can let the kids eat all the Flourless Brownie Muffins they want because there is no reason to hold back on these. Want a brownie for breakfast? Sure! Want three more brownies? Okeedokee. Ran out and need to bake more brownies? Shucks, don’t mind if I do.
It’s been so interesting to me since I posted these Super Moist Flourless Brownie and Super Moist Flourless Peanut Butter Brownie recipes. SO MANY people have had trouble with them turning out dry and crumbly. (This is the opposite of moist – what in the world?! I am baffled.)
I’ve been trying to trouble shoot and solve the mystery of this, because these recipes turn out great for me every single time! Is it my oven? It can’t possibly be that my oven works in these recipes and all other ovens don’t. Is it the temp? The time?
I do believe it’s the time. I shortened the baking time in the instructions, hoping that will make a big difference. I believe the trick to turning out perfect Super Moist Flourless Brownies is to pull them out of the oven when they are slightly underdone. If they bake too long, they will become dry and taste like burned nut butter. Meh.
So during my time of tweaking and trouble shooting, it occurred to me that I should try baking this recipe in muffin cups. Perhaps that would turn out Super Moist Flourless Brownie Muffins, I thought. Maybe if this recipe was baked in muffin cups, we could bake them for less time and avoid drying out our brownies.
Well, as it turned out, once again these Super Moist Flourless Brownie Muffins turned out perfect for me! So perfect, in fact, I had a difficult time staying out of them. “I just want one more. I can quit any time…”
As for baking time on these Super Moist Flourless Brownie Muffins, I’m going to recommend 12-15 minutes. They may look slightly underdone when you pull them out. But this is what will keep them gooey and delicious!
Super Moist Flourless Brownie Muffins
- 1½ cups (12-ounces) Peanut Butter or Almond Butter
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- Stir all ingredients together until well combined.
- Scoop batter into 12 paper-lined muffins cups.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 12-15 minutes. (Remove them from the oven when they are just slightly underdone so they come out moist!)

Made these this evening in a mini muffin pan. Baked for 8 minutes. Perfect! Delicious! Will share with my children tomorrow… if my husband and I don’t eat them all.
I made a batch with coconut flour instead of cocoa powder (because I wanted to make peanut butter and jelly desserts) – delicious!
I made these the other day and then had to make them again 2 days later. I won’t tell you how many I ate… They are delicious! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. My boys (7, 4, and 2) love them, too.
These are delicious!!! I could make them everyday and they would disappear. Trying to keep my boys (6,4,2) out of them now. =)
Is this a THM-approved recipe? Didn’t know if there is too much sweetener in here to disqualify it from being an “S”. Thanks!
Would love to try these! What could I substitute for the peanut butter/almond butter? We have a daughter with a nut allergy.
Sunbutter would hopefully work!
