Vegan Black Forest Brownies

February 12, 2021 By Gretchen Leave a Comment

 

Vegan Black Forest Brownies

Here’s a quick way to transform your standard brownie recipe with one simple ingredient!

Vegan Black Forest Brownies is a prefect way to may an easy last minute treat just in time for Valentine’s Day!

I’ve recently been coveting those Oregon Cherries that have somehow been popping up in all the shops I visit.

But I thought “I’ve already done Black Forest Cake so what can I do with these amazing cherries?”

 So get ready for Black Forest anything and everything because I am starting with these super easy Black Forest Brownies

And by tomorrow I will be showing you Black Forest Cheesecake with a combination of this brownie recipe for the base and cherries swirled throughout the batter!

I am picking my favorite fudge brownie recipe to substitute the liquid in the recipe with the cherry juice from the can.

Then just add chopped cherries to the batter and you just made an intense cherry brownie!

If you are super lazy you can simply take my Boxed Brownie Hack and do the same thing!

If you go that route you will simply use cherry juice in place of the water I have hacked in that recipe.

Then add 1 cup of chopped cherries to the batter before baking!

I have step by step tutorials for each recipe on YouTube so if you need some visual instruction be sure to click through and check out each recipe and video as listed in the ingredients below

But for those who just want to get right to it, the written instructions below are easy enough!
