Ingredients Needed
- first your favorite boxed brownie mix. My family loves, loves, loves the fudgy taste of the King Arthur brownie mix. No joke, I've never heard of anyone not loving this brownie brand. Now keep in mind they are a little more expensive than some gluten free brands. My trick-- ordering them off Amazon in bulk (6 boxes). Each brownie box is much cheaper than purchasing in stores, and I always have some on hand for last minute company or events.
- second the toppings-- my favorite is So Delicious Coco Whip. Y'all hear me talk about this wonderful product all.the.time. on my social media accounts. Sorry, not sorry. I would eat it on everything if I could. You could also consider an easy and decadent chocolate ganache recipe found on my website here.
- next top these brownie bites with your favorite fruits, sprinkles, or chopped nuts
How to Make Homemade Brownie Bites
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Spray the inside of 16 large muffin cavities, or use cupcake liners.
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the box directions.
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cavity only ¼ full. Don't overfill -- this is the key to a perfect bite that isn't hard and crispy on top with an under-baked bottom.
- Bake for 23-25 minutes. Ovens and pans vary, so keep an eye on them the first time you make these.
- Remove from the oven and let the brownies finish baking in the muffin pan for 3-4 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. Use a knife to gently loosen the edges if needed.
- Once fully cooled, top each bite with a heaping tablespoon of dairy free whipped topping and your favorite fresh fruit. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours.
Recipe Tips
- I've found all muffin pans, ovens, and brownie mixes bake slightly different. The key is filling your muffin cavity only ¼ of the way. This will give you a delicious brownie bite that isn't hard and crispy at the top yet an under-baked bottom.
- If the bites sit in the pan longer than 4 minutes after baking, they're likely to get quite hard, so don't skip the cooling rack step.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! That's one of the best things about these -- the brownie bites can be baked a day or two ahead of time and stored in an airtight container. Just top with your whipped topping and fruit right before serving.

They're a great grab-and-go addition to any dessert table, alongside other bite-sized treats. Fresh berries and extra whipped topping on the side never hurt either.
What else can I top these with?
Besides whipped topping and fresh fruit, try sprinkles, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or a drizzle of dairy free chocolate ganache.
How should I store these?
Store un-topped brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Once topped with whipped topping and fruit, keep them refrigerated and enjoy within 3-4 hours for the best texture.
