Red Velvet Brownies
Rich, chewy red velvet brownies with a chocolatey twist—perfect for every sweet occasion!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 oz semi-sweet chocolate bar chopped
- 1¼ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ½ tablespoon red gel food coloring
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup white chocolate chips optional, mixed into the batter or melted and drizzled on top
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Step 2: Melt Butter and Chocolate
- In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully combined.
Step 3: Add Sugar and Wet Ingredients
- Stir the granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Then mix in the vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red gel food coloring until evenly blended.
Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. This ensures an even mix and removes any lumps.
Step 5: Combine
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. If using, gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
Step 6: Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 7: Cool and Serve
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. For a bakery-style finish, drizzle with melted white chocolate and allow it to set before serving.
