Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cherries, pitted and halved
  • 1 cup sugar Adjust according to preference
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted Can be substituted with neutral oil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can use gluten-free flour mix if preferred
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Spread the pitted and halved cherries on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 10 minutes until tender and starting to caramelize.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and melted butter, stirring until thoroughly mixed. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the roasted cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the brownie batter.
  6. Transfer the brownie mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the brownies cool for at least 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm.
