Description

Cherry Chocolate Brownies are the most delicious fudgy brownies bursting with juicy cherries. They’re easy to make in just one bowl.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup cherries, pitted and quartered
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chunks


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, oil, water, and vanilla extract until combined and smooth. Add the flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Whisk until combined.
  3. Fold in the quartered cherries and chocolate chunks. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  4. Bake for 38-45 minutes, or until set and only a few crumbs come out on an inserted toothpick. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before gently pulling up on the parchment paper to move them to a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

You can substitute the fresh cherries for frozen. There’s no need to defrost them, but you will need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Bake for less time for a gooey brownie, a little more time for a chewy brownie, and even more time for a cakey brownie.

To Store, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
