Ingredients
  

  • 1 12oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips (340 grams)
  • 1 cup butter (226 grams)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (300 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/3 cups gluten-free 1:1 baking flour (205 grams)
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter (85 grams)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3 cups powdered sugar (390 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper or tin foil and grease with cooking spray.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 1 cup of butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.
  3. Stir in the granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt. Whisk in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  4. Gently fold in the gluten-free 1:1 baking flour until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool completely.
  6. For the mint frosting, whisk together the melted butter, milk, powdered sugar, green food coloring, and mint extract until smooth. Spread over the cooled brownies.
  7. Chill the brownies for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

- Don't overmix the brownie batter after adding the flour; overmixing can lead to dry, tough brownies. Mix just until no dry streaks remain.
- For perfectly clean slices, chill the brownies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or even an hour) after the frosting has set. Use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts.
- If you prefer a lighter mint flavor, start with less mint extract in the frosting and add more to taste. Conversely, for a bolder mint, a few extra drops can make a difference.
