Preparation Steps

• Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin pan with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.
• Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk until well combined.
• Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
• Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
• Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips to add an extra fudgy texture.
• Fill Muffin Pan: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, fill each mini muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter.
• Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
• Cool: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bites to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Prepare Coating: In a small bowl, mix the ¼ cup granulated sugar with the remaining cinnamon.
• Coat Bites: Once the bites are completely cooled, roll each one in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
