Description

These Delicious Mint Brownies combine rich cocoa flavor with a refreshing peppermint frosting, creating a perfect dessert treat that’s both indulgent and minty fresh. Quick to prepare and baked to moist perfection, these brownies are ideal for mint lovers looking for a classic yet festive dessert.

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract

Mint Frosting

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract
  • Green food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to ensure the brownies don’t stick.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar until well mixed. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to incorporate air and help the batter become smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder and all-purpose flour. This helps prevent lumps and ensures even distribution of dry ingredients.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
  5. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. To test doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  6. Prepare Mint Frosting: While the brownies cool completely, beat together powdered sugar, softened butter, peppermint extract, and optional green food coloring until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
  7. Frost and Serve: Once the brownies are fully cooled, spread the mint frosting evenly over the top. Cut into 12 squares and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure brownies are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Adjust peppermint extract quantity based on desired mint intensity.
  • For a deeper chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Optional: Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter for added texture.
