Baking the Brownie Cupcakes
When making these brownie cupcakes it’s super important not to open the oven and peek in to check the progress. They have a really soft center so opening the oven changes the temperature inside the oven. (Yes, even just a peek!)
Resist the urge to check on these cupcakes until the baking time is complete! If you do sneak a peek, the centers of the cupcakes will fall in. They’ll still taste good, just won’t be level!
