Peppermint Brownies - soft and chewy brownies layered with a chocolate ganache and topped with candy canes!
Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 8x8 or 9x9 pan with parchment paper, then lightly spray with cooking spray. Add butter to a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until light brown / caramel in color. 5-10 minutes.
Pour browned butter into a large bowl along with both sugars, cocoa powder, salt, instant coffee granules and baking powder. Stir until combined and allow to rest for 5 minutes or until the mixture has cooled down.
Stir in the eggs and vanilla and mix until batter has a nice sheen to it.
Fold in the flour and stir until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the brownies to cool completely. Once cool top with the chocolate ganache. Sprinkle with the crushed candy canes.
Cut into 9 brownies and serve.
