Healthy Brownies with Cherry

Healthy brownies are a quick and tasty dessert you can make in minutes. All you need is almond meal and dried cherries to give your brownies a festive twist. They’re soft, flavorful, and perfect for holiday baking without the guilt.

This recipe is ideal for Christmas and New Year’s Eve when guests show up without warning or you just want to treat yourself and your loved ones. The sweet-tart cherries add a rich taste, while almond meal makes the texture moist and tender. These brownies are naturally gluten-free and easy to prepare.

It’s also a great way to use leftover egg whites after making cakes or rolls. Instead of wasting them, turn them into something delicious. This healthy brownie recipe is a smart solution that saves time and ingredients while delivering a cozy homemade dessert.

Directions

1. Soak dry cherries for 20 minutes or use dried wet berries.

2. First, you need to separate the whites from the yolks. Whisk egg whites with powdered sugar and vanilla in a deep bowl. Add soft butter to the foam.
3. Gradually add dry cocoa and almond flour into the dough. You should get a creamy mass.
4. Add wet cherries to the dough and mix well. Then, grease the brownie pan with butter.
5. Divide the dough into each mold so that it takes up half the volume.
6. Put the brownie pan in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake for 12 minutes. You will see the dough rise and harden with a crust.
7. Remove the baked goods from the oven and place on a plate. Allow to cool and serve with fresh cherries.

For soft and fluffy brownies, use only egg whites instead of whole eggs. This keeps the texture light while reducing fat content.

Reduce the sugar for a less sweet, more balanced flavor. Soaking dried cherries before adding them to the batter creates a nice sweet-and-sour contrast.

Bake the brownies for just 10–15 minutes to keep them from drying out. For extra moist results, make sure the batter is creamy before baking.
