Mint Brownie Cupcakes image

"Are they a brownie or are they a cupcake?" There's no wrong answer to this question, I tell my first-grade students. I found the recipe when I began teaching nearly 20 years ago. I grew up on a farm in north-central Alberta and love to bake for my husband, a psychologist, and our children. -Carol Maertz, Spruce Grove, Alberta

I had some trouble getting the cupcakes to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of mint, but these cupcakes were surprisingly good! The mint flavor is subtle and not overpowering, and the cupcakes themselves are really moist and chocolatey.
