Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies (for batter)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup peppermint baking chips (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat.
  3. Whisk the sugar into the melted butter until combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and instant espresso powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and the crushed peppermint candies.
  8. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  9. Scatter the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips and the peppermint baking chips over the top of the batter.
  10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  11. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy your warm, encouraging treat!

Notes

  • Sasha suggests tasting the batter before baking for that extra ‘what happens’ moment.
  • Using high-quality cocoa powder makes a big difference in the chocolate flavor.
  • For an extra coffee kick, dissolve the espresso powder in a teaspoon of hot water before adding it to the wet ingredients.
