Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (or flaxseed eggs for vegan version)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Flavorings and Add-ins

  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon mint extract)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients and Preheat Oven: Gather and measure all ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt the unsalted butter with unsweetened cocoa powder and chocolate chips, stirring continuously until smooth and glossy to create the fudgy chocolate base.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Remove the chocolate mixture from heat. Stir in the granulated sugar until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract and chopped fresh mint or mint extract to infuse the mint flavor.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, combining until a smooth, shiny batter forms without overmixing.
  5. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs attached. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing for clean edges.

Notes

  • Use fresh mint whenever possible for a natural, vibrant flavor.
  • Do not overbake; remove when the center is just set to maintain moistness.
  • Allow brownies to cool fully before slicing to avoid crumbling.
  • Choose good quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for richer flavor.
  • Consider adding a mint glaze or crushed peppermint candies for a festive touch.
