Things you will need for this recipe

  1. Melted Butter: Butter gives the brownies more moisture and richness. For a different flavor profile, you can use melted vegetable or coconut oil instead.
  2. Oil: Use a neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola oil. The oil keeps the brownies from getting too dry and guarantees a soft crumb.
  3. Granulated Sugar: Add granulated sugar to the brownies to make them sweeter. If you want a stronger flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
  4. Salt: Add salt to enhance the flavor overall. Chocolate flavor is enhanced, and sweetness is balanced with a dash of salt.
  5. Eggs: Eggs give the mixture structure and moisture.
  6. Vinegar: Use vinegar (white or apple cider) in the red velvet brownies recipe. The vinegar reacts with baking soda to create a tender texture.
  7. Vanilla Extract: Flavor the brownies with vanilla extract. High-quality vanilla extract elevates the taste.
  8. Red Food Coloring: Achieve the iconic red hue with red food coloring. Adjust the amount based on your desired intensity.
  9. All-Purpose Flour: Use all-purpose flour to make the batter thick. Sift it for a smooth batter. Use cake mix instead of all-purposse flour to make red velvet brownies from box cake mix.
  10.  Cocoa Powder: Use unsweetened cocoa powder, as it provides the classic chocolate flavor.
  11.  White Chocolate Chips: Fold white chocolate chips into the batter. They melt during baking, creating pockets of creamy sweetness.

Storage options

  • Refrigeration: One way to store brownies is to put them in an airtight container or plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator. In this way, these red velvet brownies can last for two weeks.
  • Freezing: Freezing can be another option to store. I usually do not freeze brownies because I like them fresh, but if you are consuming them for a long time, then freezing can be the best option. Put your brownies into an airtight container and freeze them for up to one and a half months. Make sure to let the brownies come to room temperature after removing them from the freezer.

FAQ’s

The red velvet brownies are made of butter, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, red food coloring, vinegar, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. All mix to form a soft and sweet, bright red velvet brownie.

Butter and oil are both good for making brownies, but butter is much better than oil because butter adds a soft texture to brownies that will melt in your mouth as you take a bite.

Brownie batter should be thick and not runny because it will make your brownies moist and fudgy. Make sure to make a batter that is smooth in consistency and free of lumps.
