These festive star-spangled brownie bites are quick and easy to make with just four ingredients, delivering a fudgy texture and a playful crunch of red, white, and blue sprinkles. Perfect for holidays, parties, or casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box brownie mix (about 18.3 oz / 520 g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) festive sprinkles (red, white, and blue star-shaped or nonpareils)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your mini muffin pan with non-stick spray or line with mini paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, 2 large eggs, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil. Mix with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and no dry streaks remain, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Spoon the batter evenly into the mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full (makes around 24 bites).
  4. Generously sprinkle the top of each brownie bite with the festive sprinkles, pressing them gently into the batter.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, starting to check at 12 minutes with a toothpick inserted in a middle bite; it should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
  6. Remove from oven and let the bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  7. Serve at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

For super fudgy bites, bake for 12 minutes; for cakey texture, bake closer to 15 minutes. Press sprinkles gently into batter to prevent falling off. Use gluten-free brownie mix and flax eggs to make vegan and gluten-free. Can be baked in an air fryer at 320°F (160°C) for about 10 minutes. Store in airtight container up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.
