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 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.
- 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.
- In a mixing bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt. Set aside.
- Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the sugar, eggs, and egg yolk on high for 5 minutes.
- While that is mixing, melt the butter so it slightly cools. Then, add the butter, oil, and vanilla and mix on low. 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.
- Separate the cherries in half and add half of the cherries to brownie batter. Add the chocolate chips and fold until combined.
- Pour brownie batter into pan and spread until smooth.
- 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. Freeze the brownies for 15 minutes. Then, take out of the pan. Top with remaining cherries and cut and serve.
Notes
- Use fresh cherries for best results.
- Adjust sugar based on sweetness preference.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
