Description

Delicious, fudgy brownies packed with roasted cherries and chocolate chips.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Cherries cut in half, washed, pitted
  • Sprinkle of sugar
  • 1 1/3 cup White granulated sugar
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 5 TBSP Unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup Oil, canola or vegetable
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 1 TBSP Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the cherries cut in half over parchment paper. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool.
  2. Turn the oven to 325°F. Spray an 8X8 pan with baking non-stick spray. Line the bottom and 2 sides with parchment paper. Spray again.
  3. In a mixing bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
  4. Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the sugar, eggs, and egg yolk on high for 5 minutes.
  5. While that is mixing, melt the butter so it slightly cools. Then, add the butter, oil, and vanilla and mix on low.
  6. Take off the mixer. Add the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the dry ingredients. Be gentle so you don’t knock out any air.
  7. Separate the cherries in half and add half of the cherries to the brownie batter. Add the chocolate chips and fold until combined.
  8. Pour brownie batter into the pan and spread until smooth.
  9. Bake for 40-50 minutes. The brownies are done baking when the edges are set, but the middle is slightly underdone. Top with extra chocolate chips. Let it cool in the pan completely.

Notes

  • Ensure the cherries are pitted before baking.
  • For extra flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips.
  • Cool brownies completely before cutting for cleaner slices.
