Delight in these rich and moist Red Velvet Brownies, combining the classic flavors of red velvet cake with the dense, chewy texture of a brownie. Infused with cocoa powder and a hint of vanilla, these vibrant treats are perfect for any occasion and can be enhanced with a drizzle of white chocolate or mixed-in white chocolate chips for added decadence.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 oz chopped semi-sweet chocolate bar
  • 1 & 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoons red gel food coloring

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 & 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, mixed in the batter or melted and drizzled on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal and clean edges.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate together in 30-second increments, stirring after each until fully smooth and combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add granulated sugar to the melted butter mixture and stir until combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to incorporate air and create a smooth batter. Stir in vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red gel food coloring until evenly mixed.
  4. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt to remove lumps and ensure even distribution throughout the batter.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender. If using, fold in the white chocolate chips evenly into the batter.
  6. Transfer to Pan: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared 8×8 inch pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula for uniform baking.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter, ensuring a fudgy texture.
  8. Cool: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack to set properly and make cutting easier.
  9. Optional White Chocolate Drizzle: If desired, melt additional white chocolate and drizzle over the cooled brownies. Allow the drizzle to set before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to maintain a tender brownie texture.
  • Use good quality semi-sweet chocolate for the best flavor.
  • The white chocolate chips can be mixed into the batter or melted and drizzled on top for decoration.
  • Ensure brownies are fully cooled before drizzling white chocolate to prevent melting.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
