‘Tis the season for me to add peppermint to every single recipe!
You guys, I LOVE THE PEPPERMINT+CHOCOLATE COMBINATION!!
Whether it’s in my drink or in my dessert, I love this duo 🙂 .
In the past, I’ve shared my recipes for:
CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT MACAROONS
PEPPERMINT COCOA KRISPIES TREATS
…and my PEPPERMINT OREO ICE CREAM CAKE just to name a few!
Today, I have our PEPPERMINT CHOCOLATE BROWNIE recipe to share.
Yes, yes, yes, I know the name is redundant, but I used black cocoa powder, so I felt the need to call it out twice. Easy, delicious, simple to make gluten-free and Christmas-y too!
Enjoy!

Today, I have our PEPPERMINT CHOCOLATE BROWNIE recipe to share. Yes, yes, yes, I know the name is redundant, but I used black cocoa powder, so I felt the need to call it out twice. Easy, delicious, simple to make gluten-free and Christmas-y too! Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of butter, softened
- 1½ cups light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1½ teaspoons peppermint extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (we used black cocoa powder, but you can also use Hershey’s unsweetened)
- a pinch of salt
- 2½ cups flour (we use gluten-free Namaste Perfect Flour Blend)
- 1½ cups crushed candy canes or peppermint baking chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Line an 8×8 baking dish with foil and lightly spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- In one mixing bowl, beat your butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Next, beat in your eggs followed by your peppermint extract, baking soda, cocoa, salt and flour.
- Pour this batter (it will be thick) into your prepared pan and sprinkle your crushed candy canes or peppermint baking chips down over the top.
- Pop your brownies in the oven for about 35 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean).
- Remove from oven and allow to cool at least 10 minutes before either slicing and serving or pulling the sides of the foil out to easily remove the whole thing.
