Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies after baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Then, add the eggs and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Additions: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries and optional chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the brownie batter without breaking the berries.
- Bake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased or lined baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking dish before slicing into nine squares. Serve and enjoy the delightful combination of chocolate and fresh blueberries.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best texture and flavor; frozen berries may release excess moisture and affect brownie consistency.
- The chocolate chips are optional but add extra richness and chocolate flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to keep the brownies tender.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
