Description
This Red Velvet Brownies Recipe is a fusion of classic flavors and modern convenience, resulting in a dessert that’s both easy to make and pleasing to the taste buds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or cream cheese frosting
Instructions
- Start by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures it reaches the right temperature by the time your batter is ready, which is crucial for even and thorough baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk these two ingredients until they are nicely blended and the mixture appears smooth. Next, add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and red food coloring. Continue whisking until everything is fully incorporated and you have a vibrant, uniform batter.
- To the wet mixture, gently add the cocoa powder, white vinegar, and salt. Stir to combine, ensuring there are no lumps. Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Overmixing can result in denser brownies, so fold just until the flour is integrated.
- Pour your batter into the prepared 8×8-inch baking pan. For an extra treat, sprinkle white chocolate chips on top if you’re using them. This will give the brownies a sweet, creamy finish.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and allow the brownies to bake for 25-30 minutes. To test if they’re done, insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out mostly clean, they’re ready. Let the brownies cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
