Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 1 cup organic cane sugar
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free baking flour for gluten-free option)
- 1/3 cup natural cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. Rinse the blueberries and pat them dry. Measure and sift the dry ingredients including cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, natural gelling agent, and sea salt so they are ready to mix.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, blend the softened plant-based butter with organic cane sugar until creamy. Slowly add plant-based milk and vanilla extract (natural), mixing until smooth and fully combined. This base ensures your brownies will be rich and moist.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to avoid overmixing. This process provides a tender but chewy texture.
- Incorporate Fresh Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed without breaking them apart. The berries will release their juices during baking, creating flavorful pockets.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, until edges are set but the center remains soft and moist. Let cool slightly before cutting so brownies hold their shape.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best texture and burst of flavor.
- Mix ingredients just until combined to avoid tough brownies.
- Use a toothpick test: a few moist crumbs are perfect.
- Allow butter and plant-based milk to come to room temperature before mixing.
- Experiment with coconut sugar or maple syrup as alternative sweeteners.
