Course Dessert

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup dairy-free butter
  • 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.
