I'm not a huge fan of cherries, but these brownies were still really good. The almond flavor is really nice.

These brownies were so delicious and easy to make! I used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour, and they turned out great. The cherries added a nice tartness to balance out the sweetness of the brownies.
