This recipe makes exactly TWO fudgy chocolate brownie cupcakes, in one bowl, right in the toaster oven! Topped with a creamy buttercream frosting, this recipe is perfect for Valentine's Day, an anniversary or extra special small-batch after dinner treat.
I like to top them with a simple vanilla or chocolate buttercream, but feel free to check out my Go-To Frosting & Filling Recipes (with flavor variations) to mix and match with your cupcakes, for your own custom, gourmet flavor combinations!
