Alright, so here’s the lowdown on why you need these Mint Chocolate Chip Brownies in your life. They’re rich, fudgy, and packed with that minty goodness that basically makes them an acceptable breakfast. Plus, they fill the house with a smell so good it ought to be bottled and sold. Seriously, just go rummage in your pantry and get started.

Picture this: my cozy kitchen, chaos reigning supreme, and my family perpetually arguing whether mint and chocolate should ever mix (I’m firmly on the yes team, thank you very much). These little morsels of delight have become the peacekeepers in our household—not to mention a sneaky way to quiet the constant snack-attacks. My husband’s learned not to trust apparent leftovers because they disappear into mouths faster than I can say “minty-fresh.”

How to Make It

Okay my friend, let’s get started. Preheat your oven to something around 350°F because we’re going classic here. In the meantime, find a large-ish bowl and let’s chuck in some melted butter. You might forget to melt it first—been there, done that, won’t judge. Now, dump in sugar like you’re getting paid by the gram, and mix like an over-caffeinated squirrel until it looks happy (or you are, at least). Toss in some eggs, and beat them like they’re on the wrong end of a bad breakup or, you know, just until combined.

Mint extract is next. Don’t sniff too hard or you might start drooling. Finally, fold in flour, cocoa powder, and a sprinkle of salt to balance all that sweet drama. Remember to throw in a stash of mint chocolate chips that you haven’t already snacked on. It’s fine if they don’t make it into the mix—totally a judgment-free zone here. Spread this heavenly goop into a baking dish (greased, please) and bake away because patience is a virtue or something.

Ingredient Notes

– Butter: Melted, not cold, unless you fancy a crunchy surprise. Seriously, just melt it.
– Sugar: Skip it, and you’ll be left with minty sadness. Not optional.

What to Serve It With

These beauties won’t need much, but slap a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side if you’re feeling fancy. Or just grab a spoon and eat straight from the pan—as it was meant to be.

Tips & Mistakes

Storage Tips

So, you’ll shove these in an airtight container if they survive the day. On the kitchen counter is fine—fridge only if you’re into cold desserts. And yes, they totally work with coffee for breakfast, because why not?

Variations and Substitutions

You can swap in white chocolate chips if you want to mix things up, or even go nuts with nuts (pecans, walnuts, your choice). Tried leaving out the mint because the store was out? Yeah, that’ll just make you feel like you’re missing the magic, and nobody wants that.

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.
