Easy Cherry Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Mix sugar, oil, and almond extract together in a large bowl until well blended.
• Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in another bowl; stir into sugar mixture until combined. Beat in 1/2 of the cherries using an electric mixer until moistened. Fold in remaining cherries. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until brownies spring back when gently touched, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Grease a 9" square pan.
• Melt unsweetened chocolate and butter in the microwave.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk briefly to aerate (could sift, but I find it messier).
• In a separate bowl, beat eggs and vanilla until fluffy. Add sugar in three additions, beating well between additions.
• Add the butter/chocolate mixture to the egg/sugar mixture and mix thoroughly.
• Add the wet mixture to the dry. Stir very gently just until combined.
• Add cherries and chips and stir just until distributed.
• Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle top with nuts if desired.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes. The edges should pull away from the pan slightly when they're done. Don't overbake.
• Note: The original recipe says 20 minutes. Mine took 30. I can't tell if my oven's off or the cherries are causing the baking time to be longer.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan.
• Stir cherry filling, cake mix, eggs, and almond extract together in a bowl by hand. Pour into the prepared pan.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter, sugar and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to get any butter that might have gotten stuck.
• In a separate bowl sift together the flour, cocoa powder, cayenne, salt and cinnamon.
• Slowly beat the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Continue mixing until evenly combined, but avoid over-mixing. Gently fold in the cherries and chocolate chips using a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the baking dish and use the spatula to level the top of the batter.
• Bake until the brownies are set and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the brownies to a cooling rack, and cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• Make the filling: Combine the cherries, granulated sugar, lemon juice and a pinch of salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer; cook, stirring, until the juices are reduced, about 10 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with the water in a small bowl, then stir into the pan and cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in both extracts. Spread on a plate to cool.
• Meanwhile, make the topping: Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, almonds and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Work in the butter with your fingers until the mixture is crumbly. Chill until ready to use.
• Make the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350˚. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides; coat with cooking spray.

Whisk both flours and the salt in a bowl, then whisk into the batter.
• Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Top with the cherry filling, then the crumb topping. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool slightly in the pan, about 20 minutes. Carefully lift out of the pan using the foil overhang and transfer the brownies to a rack to cool completely. Cut into pieces.
