If you love the classic flavor combination of rich chocolate and sweet cherries, you'll love these brownies! Chopped maraschino cherries and chocolate chips are stirred into the batter and added on top. So there's no shortage of chewy cherries and gooey melted chocolate when you bite in these brownies. And no one will guess these beauties started with a box of Betty Crocker™ Supreme original brownie mix, or that they only took 20 minutes to prep. Keep this recipe in your back pocket (and keep your pantry stocked with brownie mix) and you'll be ready for any party, bake sale or other occasion that pops up!

ORANGE GINGER PECAN CHERRY CHOC CHIP BROWNIES



Orange Ginger Pecan Cherry Choc Chip Brownies image

Another happy accident. Too much milk for a two egg omelet accidentally poured into the bowl by sleepy eyes. The leftover orange ginger jam from the Thanksgiving cheese platter begging for a purpose. An unopened bag of almond flour because it was in front of the pantry and on top. Thank goodness I had baking powder. The last orange. A jar of pecans. Half a bar of dark chocolate. A bag of dried cherries. Imagination.

Number Of Ingredients 16

WET STUFF
2 large eggs
1/2 cup(s) whole milk
1/2 cup(s) honey citron ginger tea (or orange marmalade with fresh ginger and honey to taste)
2 1/2 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter, softened
POWDERY STUFF
2 cup(s) almond flour
1 teaspoon(s) vital wheat gluten
1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
1/4 teaspoon(s) baking powder
3 tablespoon(s) organic sugar
CHUNKY STUFF
3/4 cup(s) pecan halves
1/4 cup(s) dried tart cherries
1 ounce(s) good quality dark chocolate for baking
1 large zest only from navel orange

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 F
  • Line a brownie pan with parchment.
  • Blend together the dry stuff: almond flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, and wheat gluten.
  • Whip eggs and milk until frothy.
  • Gently blend honey citron ginger tea and softened butter into whipped eggs and milk with a whisk. You'll see little chunks of butter - that's ok.
  • Roughly chop pecans, chocolate, and cherries.
  • Zest a whole orange with a fine zester.
  • Fold the batter and chunky stuff together to get a thick chunky batter.
  • Pour into the parchment lined brownie pan, making it as flat as possible. Don't rap the pan to even it out or the solids will fall to the bottom.
  • Bake at 325 F for about 35 minutes or until lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Let cool before cutting.
