If you’re looking for a great Brownie Cupcake recipe, you’ve come to the right place! These homemade treats are easy to mix up and are perfect when topped with a swirl of homemade chocolate and vanilla cream cheese icing!
What you need for Brownie Cupcakes:
- unsalted butter
- Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- unsweetened cocoa powder
- vanilla extract
- salt
- eggs
- all-purpose flour
- chocolate syrup
Ps. DON’T forget the chocolate syrup! I did that once with this recipe and got the driest brownies ever haha.
What you need for the frosting for these Cupcakes:
- unsalted butter
- cream cheese
- Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar
- vanilla extract
- unsweetened cocoa powder
Of course you don’t have to swirl your frosting like this but it reminds me of soft serve vanilla and chocolate soft serve ice cream which makes me super happy.
It’s super easy to swirl your icings together if you decide to frost the cupcakes like this.
Just make the two flavors, take a large piping bag fitted with a 1M piping tip. Spoon the vanilla frosting on one side of bag and chocolate frosting on the other Then pipe a giant swirl onto the cupcake brownies.
Sprinkle on some mini chocolate chips and you’ve got yourself a portable frosted brownie dessert!

I am having such a difficult time clicking on the link for the recipe. I got to it once after clicking a bunch of times but now im trying to make it and cant open it 🙁
I think the Dixie Crystals site was having problems earlier because someone else was also having trouble getting to the recipe. I just checked though and it looks like it’s working now. https://www.dixiecrystals.com/recipes/brownie-cupcakes?utm_source=Big%20Bears%20Wife&utm_medium=Blog%20%2B%20Social&utm_campaign=Brownie%20Cupcakes
Tried making these but at 325 and 15 mins, they were very much not done. Had to cook for another 15 minutes. Not sure I would make again.
Hi Lori. Everyone’s oven is different. I’ve lived in multiple houses and I find that each oven I’ve ever used isn’t exactly the same as the other. Which is why I added “Bake for 15 minutes or until done”, so you’re oven may need a bit more time. I do hope you will give them another try. Also don’t forget that these are brownies, so they’re not suppose to be super dry inside like a cake.
