Thin Mint Brownies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter or 3/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 9 Thin Mint cookies or any mint chocolate wafer cookie + 2 more for optional topping
- ¼ teaspoon flaked salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF and grease an aluminum loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Sift the dry ingredients to remove any lumps. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and peppermint extract using an electric hand mixer on medium/low speed.
- In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 15-second intervals until smooth. Set aside.
- Crack the eggs into the bowl with the butter and sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until well combined.
- Add the melted chocolate chips to the butter mixture and mix on low until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the flour and cocoa powder mixture to the chocolate mixture. Mix on low until combined.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the greased loaf pan. Arrange 9 Thin Mint cookies on top of the batter.
- Pour the remaining batter over the cookies. Optionally, sprinkle 2 coarsely chopped Thin Mints on top.
- Bake the brownies at 350ºF for 22-25 minutes*.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with flaked sea salt. Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing them.
Notes
- Bake time may vary depending on your oven. Remember, these brownies should be fudgy in the middle, so avoid overbaking.
- Using an electric hand mixer helps ensure a smooth batter.
- Use an aluminum loaf pan, not ceramic or glass.
- Parchment paper in the pan can make cleanup a breeze!
