Chocolate cranberry brownie

Chocolate cranberry brownies combine the rich and indulgent flavors of dark chocolate with the tart and chewy texture of dried cranberries, creating a delightful balance of sweet and tangy. This recipe is easy to follow and results in fudgy, decadent brownies that are perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup butter
150g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g
1.25 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
160g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g
4 eggs
200g
1/2 cup dried cranberries
72g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Melt Butter and Chocolate:
Place the butter and dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt them together either in a microwave, heating in 30-second increments and stirring in between, or using the double boiler method on the stove. Stir until smooth and well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and dry cocoa powder. This will ensure that everything is well incorporated and free of lumps.
4. Whisk Eggs and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and brown sugar together until the mixture becomes thick and pale. This should take a couple of minutes.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring continuously until well combined.
6. Mix in Dry Ingredients:
Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Add Cranberries:
Fold in the dried cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Transfer to Baking Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
9. Bake:
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it (be careful not to overbake).
10. Cool and Serve:
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares. Enjoy these deliciously rich and chewy chocolate cranberry brownies!

Tips:

- Use high-quality dark chocolate to enhance the richness of the brownies.

- Soak the dried cranberries in warm water for 10-15 minutes before adding them to the batter to make them juicier and prevent them from burning during baking.

- Don’t overmix the batter after adding in the dry ingredients to avoid tough brownies.

- Check the brownies a few minutes before the end of the suggested baking time to prevent overbaking. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.

- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting to ensure clean slices.

The combination of luscious dark chocolate and tart cranberries makes these brownies an irresistible treat. Whether served warm with a scoop of ice cream or at room temperature with a cup of coffee, these chocolate cranberry brownies are sure to be a hit with friends and family alike.
