Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 8 tablespoons cocoa
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract
  • 4 eggs
  • 6 ounces chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips until well blended.
  2. Stir in chocolate chips into the batter.
  3. Pour the batter into a 15 x 11-inch pan.
  4. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate cocoa instead of regular cocoa. If you want a lighter version, you can replace half of the vegetable oil with applesauce. Make sure to mix the batter just until combined to keep the brownies fudgy. Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the chocolate flavor even more. For a twist, you could also include crushed peppermint candies in the batter.

Serving Suggestions

These Mint Chocolate Chip Brownies are delightful on their own, but you can elevate the experience by serving them with a scoop of vanilla or mint ice cream. Consider pairing them with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a dollop of whipped cream. They also make a great dessert after a hearty meal like Cheese And Cauliflower Casserole.

Storage & Reheating

Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them into squares. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want them to last longer, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place individual pieces in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until warm.
