Ingredients
Chocolate Cherry Brownies
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup coconut sugar, or brown sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips, plus more for topping
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup cornstarch, or tapioca flour
- pinch sea salt
- 10 cherries, pitted and halved
Cherry Glaze
- 1 tbsp cherry juice
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch by 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add eggs and coconut sugar (or brown sugar) to the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes or until light and frothy.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt butter. Once melted, pour in chocolate chips. Stir until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour melted chocolate mixture into bowl of stand mixer. Mix for 1 minute or until combined.
- Sift in cocoa powder and cornstarch. Then add vanilla extract and stir to combine.
- Pour batter into lined baking pan. Top with halved pitted cherries and extra chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until the middle looks set and toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Mine were perfect at 27 minutes.
- Remove brownies from oven. Allow them to cool for at least an hour in the pan before topping with glaze.
- While brownies are cooling, make glaze. Add cherry juice and powdered sugar to a bowl. Stir until combined. If it is too thick, add a touch more cherry juice or milk.
- Once brownies are cool, drizzle with glaze. Carefully slice and serve!
