Ingredients
  

Browning Mixture
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips For richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead.
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour blend.
  • 0.5 cup cocoa powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, combine chocolate chips and butter. Melt over a double boiler or in short microwave bursts, stirring until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, and vanilla.
  4. Slowly fold in the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.
  5. Sift flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Gently fold until smooth, ensuring no streaks remain.
  6. Fold roasted cherries into the batter evenly, making sure each bite contains fruity pockets.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  2. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out slightly moist.
  3. Allow brownies to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Cut into squares and serve.
