	Makes 12 brownie bites
	cooking spray
¹⁄³	cup all-purpose flour
¹⁄³	cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¹⁄8	teaspoon salt

3tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 12 pieces

(best at room temperature)

½cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1 large egg

1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly coat a 12-cup mini-muffin pan with cooking spray.

Combine the flour, cocoa and salt in the work bowl and pulse on Food Processor 10 times to sift. Transfer to a small bowl and reserve. Add the butter to the work bowl. Pulse 5 to 10 times. Add the brown sugar; pulse 5 times to break up and process for 10 to 15 seconds; scrape the bottom and sides of the work bowl. Process until smooth, 10 to 15 seconds longer. Add the egg and vanilla, process on until smooth, 10 seconds. Add half the dry mixture, pulse 5 times on Chop. Scrape the work bowl. Add the remaining dry mixture, pulse until just combined, 4 to 5 times.

Spoon the batter in equal amounts into the prepared muffin pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 13 minutes, until tops are puffed and crackled (they may still be moist when tested with a toothpick). Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 2 minutes, then remove from pan and place on a rack to cool completely, or serve warm.
