Description
These fudgy red velvet brownies are soft, rich, and chocolatey with a hint of cocoa and optional white chocolate drizzle. They offer the dense, chewy texture of brownies with the classic red velvet flavor.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon red gel food coloring
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, optional for mixing or drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate in 30-second bursts, stirring between each burst until smooth.
- Whisk in the sugar until blended. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
- Stir in vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red gel food coloring until the mixture is evenly tinted.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- If you are using white chocolate chips, fold them in now.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Check for doneness when a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. If desired, drizzle cooled brownies with melted white chocolate before slicing.
Notes
- For best results, use red gel food coloring for a deep color.
- Do not overbake; slightly underbaking yields fudgier results.
- The white chocolate chips are optional, used for either mixing into the batter or drizzling on top.
