Mini Mint Chocolate Brownies for when you need a little bite of something sweet and refreshing! This little dessert recipe is gluten-free, vegan, and allergy-free! Naturally sweetened for a healthy chocolate fix!
I live for mint chocolate (as you all know)! These brownies are no exception. Brownies are just the perfect chocolate vessel to sneak in that hit of mint and satisfy more cravings than one! There’s something about that deep rich chocolate flavor combined with mint that just gets me every time! When I hear, see, or smell mint chocolate, my mouth starts watering! Music to my ears (and stomach!)
I thought it was finally the perfect time of year to share these brownies with you too! A little green for the coming St. Patrick’s Day celebrations! We all know, even if you’re not Irish, you tend to feel inclined to wear or eat something green! I could have used this chance to sneak in some more green (like putting some spinach in these brownies), but don’t worry, I won’t take advantage of you!
Anytime I think of St. Patrick’s Day as a kid, I always think of our “leprechaun parties” in grade school. Namely, in kindergarten. I remember being sent away to art class or something, out of our classroom. When we came back the entire classroom was trashed…”by a sneaky leprechaun”. There was green glitter all over the desks, scattered and ripped up paper all over the floor, a pile of green cupcakes, and in the bathroom…the toilet water was green!
It was cute! I loved the green toilet water! I just always remember that day now when I think of the over-abundance of green on St. Patrick’s Day. O, weren’t those the easy days of school! Cupcakes and green toilets! At least now I’m savvy enough to make some brownies when the going gets tough! A bite of gluten-free vegan mint chocolate can fix anything!
I was also kind of shocked I only had one brownie recipe on the blog before this. Those brownies were barely brownies and more like cake too! These mini brownies are a little less decadent and totally bitable! These would have been perfect for that kindergarten party (and in this day and age they’re nice and “school-friendly”!)

We didn’t have St. Patrick’s Day parties in elementary school, but we certainly did some leprechaun-related activities (e.g. building leprechaun traps) in the week leading up to it. Unfortunately, without a party, we didn’t get snacks, so there were no mint chocolate brownies or the like! Looks like I’ll just have to make up for lost time now 😉
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Yea, I think that calls for double batches (plus some traps so the leprechanuns don’t eat them all!) 😉 haha!
Uma says

Between my husband and I we were classroom parents every year until both of our kids were older. It seemed like parties for everything.
Mint chocolate is one of the best flavor combos. Ever!

No matter what, we all know we secretly liked them 😉

I have been on a mint kick lately! Everything mint sounds so refreshing! With St. Patty’s day coming up I need a way to celebrate at home because there is no way I’m going out into the craziness. We have one of the biggest parades in the country here in PA and it’s a good reason to stay home and eat these!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Mint is just so perfectly refreshing! Haha! Yes! Stay home, eat cozy food…and end the day with brownies!
