These chewy mini lunchbox brownies with sprinkles are a quick, nut-free treat perfect for kids’ school snacks. They offer a fudgy texture with a playful sprinkle topping, ideal for portion control and busy days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • ⅓ cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup nut-free sprinkles (e.g., Wilton’s nut-free rainbow sprinkles)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your mini muffin tin lightly with non-stick spray or line with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to blend evenly and set aside.
  3. In a larger bowl, whisk granulated sugar and brown sugar with melted butter until smooth and glossy, about 2-3 minutes. The mixture should be warm but not hot.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until the batter thickens and becomes shiny.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, avoiding overmixing. A few streaks of flour are okay.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle a pinch of nut-free rainbow sprinkles on top of each cup.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges look set but centers are slightly soft. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool the brownies in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely and firm up.

Notes

Do not overbake to keep brownies chewy; they finish cooking as they cool. Use room temperature eggs for better batter consistency. Fold flour gently to avoid cakey texture. Sprinkles go on top to keep colors bright. Let batter rest 10 minutes before baking for extra fudginess.
