Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon mint extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chocolate ganache (optional for topping)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. You can also line it with parchment paper for easier removal of the brownies.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined, creating a smooth mixture.
- Allow the butter and sugar mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and mint extract. Make sure to mix well after each addition for a uniform batter.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the brownies to remain fudgy.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. If desired, drizzle with chocolate ganache and garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
Extra Tips:
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a few drops of green food coloring to the batter for a vibrant look. You can also mix in some chopped nuts or swap out the chocolate chips for white chocolate chips for a different twist. These brownies pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, making them an even more indulgent dessert option.
Enjoy your fudgy mint chocolate brownie creation!
