Ingredients
For The Brownie Layer
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For the Mint Layer
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- optional: green food coloring
For the Chocolate Glaze
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 6 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer using the paddle attachment, beat together the butter, eggs and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- While the brownies are cooling, make the mint layer by mixing together the powdered sugar, butter and peppermint extract until a smooth frosting forms. Stir in the green food coloring, if desired. Spread the mint frosting over the surface of the cooled brownies and then refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- To make the chocolate glaze, place the chocolate chips and butter in a bowl set over a double boiler. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the mint frosting layer. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
