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
- Preheat the oven according to the recipe’s roasting and baking instructions.
- Spread the washed, pitted, halved cherries on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar and roast until softened and their flavor is concentrated. Allow them to cool and drain excess liquid if needed.
- Prepare a brownie baking pan by lining it with parchment paper if desired.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolk until combined.
- Add the melted butter, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Add the flour, Dutch-process cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Stir gently until the dry ingredients are incorporated, taking care not to overmix.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Gently fold in the cooled roasted cherries, distributing them throughout the batter.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake according to the recipe’s baking temperature and timing, until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Allow roasted cherries to cool and drain excess juice before folding them into the batter.
- Avoid overmixing after adding the flour to help maintain a fudgy texture.
- Let the brownies cool completely before slicing for cleaner squares.
