How to Make Blueberry Brownies

Quick Overview

These brownies are quick to prepare, bursting with flavor, and ready in about 30 minutes plus baking time. The combination of silky chocolate and tart blueberries is a match made in dessert heaven!

Key Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 2 cups granulated sugar

• 4 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus a few extra for topping)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch pan or line with parchment paper.

2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.

3. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift flour, cocoa, and salt. Fold into the wet mixture until just combined.

4. Add blueberries: Gently fold in blueberries without crushing them.

5. Bake: Spread batter evenly in the pan, top with a few extra blueberries, and bake for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

6. Cool & serve: Let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

What to Serve With Blueberry Brownies

These brownies are fantastic on their own, but even better when paired with:

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream 🍨

• Whipped cream for a lighter touch

• A drizzle of warm berry compote or chocolate sauce for extra indulgence

Top Tips for Perfect Brownies

• Fresh or frozen blueberries: Both work! If using frozen, add straight from the freezer (don’t thaw).

• Add chocolate chips: For extra richness, mix in semi-sweet or white chocolate chips.

• Don’t overbake: Check a few minutes early—brownies should stay soft and fudgy.

• Let them rest: Cooling fully deepens flavor and gives the best texture.

Storage & Reheating

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container up to 5 days.

• Freezer: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

• Reheat: Warm briefly in the microwave for that fresh-baked taste.

These Blueberry Brownies are proof that classic desserts can always be reinvented. Simple, flavorful, and eye-catching, they’re sure to become a family favorite. So grab those blueberries, melt that chocolate, and get ready to bake a dessert that’s as impressive as it is delicious!
