1. Preheat the Oven:
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
– In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
– Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
– Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
6. Fill the Cupcake Liners:
– Spoon the brownie batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
7. Bake:
– Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
8. Cool and Serve:
– Allow the brownie cupcakes to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
– Dust with powdered sugar or top with your favorite frosting if desired.
