How to make this Fudgy Red Velvet Brownies Recipe?

Helpful Tips and Variations:
Can I use a different coloring? You can use pinkish food coloring to get a nice pastel color. You can also replace with purple, blue, or green food coloring. I prefer to choose the color based on the occasion (Halloween, Christmas, St. Patrick’s day…)
What can I add to this recipe? I love adding chopped walnuts and dates; they enhance the texture, flavor, and nutrition of this recipe (You can decrease the amount of sugar if you’re going to use chopped dates. Sliced bananas, chopped berries or dried fruit are a also a good option. You can also use chocolate chips, marshmallows, or candies.
How can I garnish this recipe? There are various ways to garnish these lovely fudgy brownies. Swirls of cream cheese frosting is a classic choice for this recipe; it’s nice and visually appealing (you can use chocolate ganache or swirls of peanut butter instead). For a touch of freshness, you can add some fresh fruit on top like strawberries, raspberries or blueberries (it would create a nice contrast of color). You can sprinkle cut nuts such as pecans or almonds. For a rather luxurious garnish; use edible gold.
Can I bake them in an air fryer? Definitely! Preheat to 320 degrees. Place parchment in the bottom of your air fryer basket to easily remove the brownies once cooked. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
How can I store any leftovers? You can place them in a container and keep them at room temperature for couple days. (The container should be well sealed to keep them moist and tender). Place them in the fridge to keep for up to 2 weeks.
