Ingredients

- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup strong brewed coffee cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Melt Chocolate and Butter:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the dairy-free dark chocolate chips and dairy-free butter over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, brewed coffee, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract.
- Add the melted chocolate mixture and stir until well combined.
Add Dry Ingredients:
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares.
Serve:
- Serve the brownies as is, or with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of melted chocolate if desired.
- Enjoy these gooey, fudgy brownies with a crinkle top and the perfect blend of chocolate, coffee, and peppermint flavors!
Notes
- Strong Brewed Coffee: For a pronounced coffee flavor, ensure the coffee is strong. You can use espresso for an even richer flavor.
- Peppermint Extract: Adjust the amount of peppermint extract to your taste preference.
- Crinkle Top: To achieve the perfect crinkle top, avoid overmixing the batter and ensure the sugars are well dissolved in the wet mixture.
