Indulge in these fudgy Roasted Cherry Brownies, bursting with the sweetness of roasted cherries and rich chocolate. A delightful treat for any occasion, they combine the best of both worlds: a chewy brownie texture with a fruity twist.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Cherries:

  • 2 cups (276 g) sweet cherries, pitted and halved
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

For the Brownies:

  • 1 ¼ cups (227.5 g) semisweet chocolate chips, divided
  • ¾ cup (163.5 g) vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ⅔ cup (133 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (118 g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Roast the Cherries:
    • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Spread the halved cherries on the lined baking sheet and sprinkle with sugar.
    • Roast the cherries in the oven for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool while you prepare the brownies.
  • Prepare the Brownies:
    • Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine ½ cup of the chocolate chips and the vegetable oil. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted. Set aside.
    • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat on high speed for 5-6 minutes, or until the mixture has lightened in color and doubled in size, scraping down the sides as needed.
    • Turn the mixer to low and slowly pour in the melted chocolate mixture, mixing until just combined.
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
    • Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the remaining ¾ cup of chocolate chips and half of the roasted cherries.
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  • Bake the Brownies:
    • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
    • Remove the brownies from the oven and top with the remaining roasted cherries.
    • Let the brownies cool slightly before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle some chocolate sauce over the top before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
