Instructions
Brownies
-
Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together 2 eggs, 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy. This should take about one minute.
- Gradually add in the 1/2 cup of melted butter and 3/4 cup of canola oil. Stir well with a wooden spoon (avoid using an electric mixer at this stage) to ensure that the sugar is well mixed with the butter and oil.
- Sift together 1 cup of gluten-free flour and 1/2 cup of cocoa powder. Gradually add this to the egg mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
-
Microwave Baking:
- Lightly spray or grease a glass 10×10 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Microwave on High for 5-6 minutes. In a 1000 watt microwave, it is recommended to bake on medium-high for the same amount of time. The top of the brownies should look dry but spring back when lightly touched.
-
Cooling:
- Once done, remove the brownies from the microwave and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This step is crucial to ensure the perfect texture for your brownies.
Icing
- Prepare the Icing:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of softened butter, 2 cups of icing sugar, 1/4 cup of half-and-half cream, and 1/8 teaspoon of peppermint extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the icing evenly over the cooled brownies, ensuring a thick and even layer.
Glaze
-
Prepare the Glaze:
- In a glass measuring cup, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of butter together in the microwave. This should take about 1 minute on medium heat. Stir until smooth.
- Drizzle the chocolate glaze over the peppermint icing layer, creating a beautiful and tasty topping.
-
Chill and Slice:
- Place the brownies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set the icing and glaze.
- Once chilled, slice the brownies into approximately 25 squares and serve.
Enjoy these decadent, gluten-free chocolate mint brownies with a cup of tea or coffee, or share them with friends and family for a delightful treat! 🍫🌿✨
