Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the pitted and halved cherries with one tablespoon of the granulated sugar. Toss them gently and set aside to let the juices release.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and the remaining granulated sugar until well combined. Add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla bean paste, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  4. Step 4: Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt into the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the prepared cherries.
  5. Step 5: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Step 6: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting it out using the parchment paper. Let it cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy your roasted cherry brownies!

Notes

  • For optimal freshness, store your roasted cherry brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • To enjoy your brownies warm, simply reheat them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.
  • These brownies are delicious on their own, but for an extra treat, serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce to complement the tartness of the cherries.
  • When folding in the cherries, be gentle to preserve their shape and avoid overmixing the batter; this will help ensure your brownies remain fudgy and moist.
