Why You’ll Love This Mint Chocolate Brownies

1. It’s like a chocolate-mint whirlwind blew through your mouth.
2. They take family movie night from zero to epic real quick!
3. Perfect excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast — no judgy looks here.
4. Super easy and makes you look like a baking wizard without even trying.

How to Make It

Okay, here’s the deal — you’ll want to set those brownies off on a chocolate adventure that’s as messy or precise as you feel like today. Melt your butter and chocolate together like besties having a beach day. Stir until silky-smoothish, no big lumps here! Next up, an egg party — add ‘em in one at a time while whisking like you’ve got all the time in the world. Think melted chocolate lava goodness. Then, sugar crash! Toss it in and mix until the batter sings to your soul. Add the flour and fold like you’re tucking in your favorite cozy blanket. Mint extract comes in like a ninja — stealthy and game-changing. Pour it into your pan and bake until a toothpick tells you it’s ready or your house smells divine — whichever comes first.

Ingredient Notes

– Butter: Makes the whole thing luscious and dreamy. Go salted if you’re feeling rebellious!
– Chocolate Chips: You are the hero of the day, making everything chocolatey. Don’t skip!
– Mint Extract: The secret weapon. Too much or too little can turn this into a love-hate relationship. Be wise.

Recipe Steps:

1. Melt butter and chocolate chips together, stir until smooth.
2. Add eggs one by one, mixing well.
3. Stir in sugar until combined.
4. Add flour and fold gently.
5. Mix in mint extract thoroughly.
6. Pour the batter into a prepared baking pan.
7. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out almost clean.

What to Serve It With

Tips & Mistakes

1. Bake time is key — don’t wander off halfway through.
2. Over-mixing is a thing; treat it like Jenga, one wrong move…

Storage Tips

These babies can hang out in an airtight container on the counter for a couple of days, but chill in the fridge if you want to keep them around longer. Eating them cold is like discovering a whole new flavor universe. Breakfast brownies? Yep, that’s a thing I support.

Variations and Substitutions

Ran out of all-purpose flour? Try almond flour — a risk, but a tasty one. No mint extract? Crush up some candy canes and tip them in. In those desperate pantry-is-empty moments, skip the mint altogether if you must. Brownies can still rock solo.

Frequently Asked Questions

I can’t have gluten… will this still work?

Totally. Just switch the soy sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. I’ve done it more times than I can count. Still tastes bomb.

Do I have to peel the pineapple first? Asking for a friend.

Yeah… definitely peel it. Unless you’re into chewing bark. It’s not fun, trust me.

Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh?

Been there, done that. Just drain it like your life depends on it. Still good, just not *as* wow.

How sweet is this? Can I tone it down a bit?

You totally can. Cut the sugar a little or swap in honey or maple syrup. I’ve done both when I ran out of brown sugar.

What if I skip the sesame oil?

Honestly? It’s fine. You’ll lose that toasted vibe, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Still delicious.
