Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams fresh or frozen cranberries
- 50 grams white chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semisweet chocolate chips and stir until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar with the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet batter until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Optionally, sprinkle white chocolate chips on top for a decorative garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares or rectangular bars.
Serve and enjoy the tart cranberry bursts combined with decadent chocolate brownie goodness!
