Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 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 the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine all wet ingredients thoroughly.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder to ensure even distribution. Gradually add these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined without overmixing.
- Fold in Additions: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and optional chocolate chips, being careful not to crush the berries to maintain their shape and flavor.
- Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, indicating the brownies are perfectly baked.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking dish before slicing them into nine squares. Serve and enjoy your moist, fruity blueberry brownies!
Notes
- For best results, use fresh, ripe blueberries to ensure juicy bursts of flavor.
- If blueberries are frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid to avoid soggy brownies.
- Chocolate chips are optional but add extra chocolate richness if desired.
- Greasing the pan or using parchment paper makes removal and cleanup easier.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
