Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon White Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Red Food Coloring
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Natural Cocoa Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips or Chunks
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl or a saucepan over low heat, then pour it into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the granulated sugar to the melted butter and whisk until well combined and glossy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, buttermilk, white vinegar, and red food coloring until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened natural cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. If using, fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.

Keywords: Do not overmix the batter to keep the brownies fudgy. For best results, use gel food coloring for a vibrant red hue and ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better emulsification.
