Servings: 12 people
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips divided
- ¾ cup granulated white sugar
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 cup halved and pitted cherries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, heat the butter and ½ cup of the chocolate chips for 30 seconds. Stir and heat for another 20-30 seconds, or until butter is melted. Stir so that the butter and chocolate melt together.
- Add sugar to the butter-chocolate mixture and whisk together until fully incorporated.
- Add the oil, eggs, and vanilla and mix until just incorporated (over mixing eggs can make them stiff).
- Fold in cocoa powder, flour, and salt and mix until incorporated. Fold in the remaining chocolate chips and the cherries.
- Pour into baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs attached (test in a few places; the toothpick will look very wet if you run it through a chocolate chip). Cool before slicing.
