In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until melted and smooth (about 1 to 1.5 minutes in total).
Let the melted chocolate mixture cool slightly. Then whisk in the granulated sugar until fully combined.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract to the bowl and whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Sift in the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Grease a microwave-safe square or rectangular dish (approximately 5x5 inches) with cooking spray or butter, and pour the batter evenly into the dish.
If desired, sprinkle mint chocolate pieces over the top of the batter.
Microwave the dish on high power for 4-5 minutes, checking for doneness at the 4-minute mark. The brownies should look set on top and slightly fudgy in the center.
Carefully remove the dish from the microwave (it will be hot!) and let the brownies cool for at least 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your quick and delicious gluten-free chocolate mint brownies!
