How to Make Mint Julep Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
- Combine 1 cup (6 ounces) chopped unsweetened chocolate and 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter in a heavy saucepan.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes to slightly cool.
- In a separate bowl, beat 4 large eggs at medium speed with an electric mixer until thick and pale yellow.
- Gradually add 2 cups granulated sugar, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the cooled chocolate mixture, ensuring it's well combined with the egg mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in ½ cup of chopped fresh mint leaves.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (slightly gooey is okay).
- Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before dusting with powdered sugar.
- Cut into bars and serve. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs, if desired.
