Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, melted
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Fruits and Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients including flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and coconut sugar to evenly distribute them.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, melt the plant-based butter and combine it with plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Whisk the mixture until smooth and slightly frothy for a creamy consistency.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick yet pourable.
- Fold in Fresh Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are set but the center remains slightly soft to keep the brownies moist.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set their texture before slicing into squares to reveal the vibrant blueberry bursts.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and even baking.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a soft and tender brownie texture.
- Fresh blueberries are preferred over frozen for better texture; if using frozen, thaw and drain well to reduce moisture.
- Toss blueberries lightly in a bit of flour before folding to prevent sinking.
- Test doneness early, as brownies continue to cook slightly after removal from the oven.
- The natural gelling agent is optional but helps create a fudgier finish.
