Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease two ramekins with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil. Set aside for now.

In a small bowl, add butter and granulated sugar. Use a spatula to mix until just combined. Add vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and an egg and whisk until combined.

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until combined.

Divide the brownie batter evenly between the two ramekins.

Bake the brownies in the oven or toaster oven for about 18-20 minutes.

Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
