Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 1 cup
- Unsweetened cocoa powder: 1/4 cup
- Granulated sugar: 1 cup
- Brown sugar, packed: 1/2 cup
- Unsalted butter, melted: 1/2 cup
- Eggs: 2 large
- Red food coloring: 1 tablespoon
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking pan.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the red food coloring and vanilla extract.
- Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep them soft and fudgy.
- To gently warm a brownie, microwave it for 10-15 seconds for a melty, comforting treat.
- Serve these red velvet brownies with a dollop of cream cheese frosting or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra decadence.
- For a richer red color, use gel food coloring instead of liquid, as it's more concentrated and won't thin the batter.
