  • For the Brownies: ½ teaspoon salt
  • For the Brownies: 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • For the Brownies: 2 cups granulated sugar
  • For the Brownies: 4 large eggs
  • For the Brownies: 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • For the Mint Layer: ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • For the Mint Layer: 2 cups powdered sugar

  • Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Whisk together gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • In a large bowl, mix melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Gradually add dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • For the mint layer, beat softened butter until fluffy. Gradually beat in powdered sugar. Add milk, peppermint extract, and optional food coloring; beat until smooth.
  • Spread the mint layer evenly over the cooled brownies. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
  • Melt chocolate chips and butter together (using a double boiler or microwave) until smooth. Pour over the chilled mint layer and spread evenly.
  • Return pan to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, until the chocolate topping is fully set.
  • Lift the brownies from the pan using parchment paper. Slice into squares with a warm, dry knife for clean cuts.
