Description
These fudgy red velvet brownies are an easy chocolatey treat that will be perfect when that sweet tooth hits!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 oz chopped semi-sweet chocolate bar
- 1 & ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ½ tablespoon red gel food coloring
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 & ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional, mixed in the batter or melted and drizzled on top)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
-
In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments. Stir until fully melted.
-
Add in the granulated sugar and mix until combined. Then, add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red food coloring.
-
In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If desired, fold in white chocolate chips into the brownie batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared 8×8-inch pan and spread it evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
-
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
-
Optionally, drizzle melted white chocolate on top, allow to set, slice, and enjoy!
Notes
-
Use high-quality red gel food coloring for vibrant red color.
-
Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies fudgy.
-
Let the brownies cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
-
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
