Ingredients
  

For the Brownies
  • 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter Adds moisture and richness; can be substituted with coconut oil for a dairy-free twist.
  • 2 oz Chopped Semi-Sweet Chocolate Provides a deep chocolate flavor; replace with more cocoa powder if needed.
  • 1 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the batter; using brown sugar can enhance the flavor profile.
  • 2 Large Eggs Binds the ingredients together and adds moisture; no substitutions recommended.
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; almond extract works for a nutty twist.
  • 1 teaspoon White Vinegar Creates the signature tanginess of red velvet; lemon juice can be used as an alternative.
  • 1/2 tablespoon Red Gel Food Coloring Gives the brownies their stunning color; omit for a traditional chocolate brownie.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Contributes to chocolatey goodness; ensure it’s not Dutch-processed.
  • 1 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; try gluten-free flour for an alternative.
