Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Okara
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Dried cherries
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the okara, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and dried cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for fudgier brownies).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice the brownies into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy your Okara Dark Chocolate Cherry Brownies!
