Ingredients

Cherries

  • 2 cups (276 g) sweet cherries, pitted, halved
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

Brownies

  • 1 ¼ cups (227.5 g) semisweet chocolate chips, divided
  • ¾ cup (163.5 g) vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ⅔ cup (133 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (118 g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Cherries

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread halved cherries over parchment paper, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside as you prepare the brownies.

Brownies

  • Reduce heat to 350°F. Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine ½ cup chocolate chips and oil. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring between, until chocolate is melted. Set aside.
  • To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Beat on high speed for 5-6 minutes, or until it has lightened in color and doubled in size, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Turn the mixer to low and slowly pour in the melted chocolate mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the remaining ¾ cup of chocolate chips and half of the roasted cherries.
  • Pour the batter into the lined baking dish.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick is removed with crumbs but no wet batter.
  • Top the brownies with the other half of the roasted cherries. Let brownies cool a bit before cutting.
