Chocolate Cherry Brownies

Indulge in the ultimate fudgy Chocolate Cherry Brownies, a delightful treat combining rich cocoa with bursts of tart cherries. This easy recipe promises pure joy in every decadent bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen pitted cherries (if frozen, do not thaw)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan, or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and pitted cherries until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
  9. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, a drizzle of chocolate ganache or a sprinkle of powdered sugar makes these brownies even more special.
