Ingredients

• 1 cup Okara
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Dried cherries
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Butter, melted
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the okara, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and dried cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for fudgier brownies).

Step 8

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, slice the brownies into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy your Okara Dark Chocolate Cherry Brownies!
