Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Servings: 12 brownies

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon mint extract
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and mix in the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and mint extract.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, gluten-free flour, salt, and baking powder.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until well combined.
5. Fold in the dark chocolate chunks, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
8. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.

Helpful Tips

• For a more intense mint flavor, add an extra 1/4 teaspoon of mint extract.
• If you prefer a more gooey brownie, slightly underbake them by a minute or two.
• Feel free to substitute the dark chocolate chunks with semi-sweet chocolate chips or a mix of both for a different texture.

Storage Instructions

Store these brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to a month; just thaw at room temperature before serving.

Complementary Dishes and Drinks

Pair these delightful brownies with a hot cup of peppermint tea or a creamy latte for a refreshing combo. They also make a great dessert after a hearty pasta dinner or an accompaniment to a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
