Cherry Brownies

When it comes to flourless chocolate desserts, my favorites are a chocolate cake, cinnamon cake, and these delicious cherry brownies.

These cherry brownies have become my new favorite chocolate fix! They are perfect to whip up for a family dessert, dinner party, or something to bring to an office potluck!

The brownies are soft, gooey and fudgy, and loaded with chocolate chips and cherries throughout and on top. They have crispy edges and tops and taste even better with a sprinkling of sea salt.

Unlike traditional chocolate cherry brownies, these are a little different. They are made without butter, without flour, and without sugar, but you’d never tell!

Ingredients for this recipe

How do you make cherry brownies?

Start by lining an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Next, in a microwave-safe bowl or in a small saucepan, add your coconut oil with your unsweetened chocolate. On low heat, heat until melted. Whisk together until glossy. Slowly add the sweetener/sugar, followed by the eggs. Finally, add the cocoa and arrowroot powder, and whisk in until no longer grainy. Finally, fold through the cherries and chocolate chips.

Transfer the brownie batter into the lined pan. Bake for 27-30 minutes, or until a skewer comes out mostly clean. Let the brownies cool in the pan completely, before slicing.
