Chocolate rhubarb brownies are a rich and decadent treat that has the best slightly tart flavor of rhubarb which cuts through the sweetness like magic. They're moist, fudgy, and sweet with chocolate chips and walnuts and just the right amount of rhubarb flavor. You'll love them! This is the brownie recipe we make every spring. The best part of these brownies is the little bits of moist rhubarb. They're not overly tart like you're probably thinking. It's the texture that I really amazing. Rhubarb does for these brownies what carrots do for carrot cake. Trust us, it just works.
Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup all-purpose flour, can sub gluten-free or almond flour
⅓ cup cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 cup rhubarb, diced small
½ cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Method* Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly butter the top.
* In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla.
* In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt.
* Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix them until they are just incorporated. Add the rhubarb, chocolate chips, and nuts and mix until they are combined. The batter will be quite thick.
* Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out so that it is even.
* Bake for 20-25 minutes, or just until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Make sure not to overcook the brownies so they don't dry out.
* Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool for at least 10 minutes. Cut them into 9 squares and try not to eat them all at once!
