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 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 smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then mix well to combine completely.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Additions: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and chocolate chips if using, ensuring even distribution without breaking the berries.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it 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 for a fudgy texture.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking dish before slicing into squares. Serve and enjoy this delicious treat.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries to maintain their shape and prevent excess moisture.
- Chocolate chips are optional but add extra richness and texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies tender and fudgy.
- For easier removal, line the pan with parchment paper.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
