See the updated recipe for Blueberry Brownies here!
I was scouring the internet for a good blueberry brownie recipe. Some called for brown sugar, which I didn’t have in the cupboard… some called for blueberry puree or jam, and I wanted to use real blueberries… some called for creams and liquors, and well, that is just too complicated for me! So. I made my own.
Blueberry Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 stick butter I useunsalted
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat over to 350°F and prepare your pan.
- In a saucepan, add butter and blueberries and simmer over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat. In a separate bowl, mix eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Add a spoonful of the blueberry mixture to the egg mixture to temper it. (you don't want your egg to scramble)
- Now add your egg mixture to the saucepan of blueberries and mix well.
- Add in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until just combined.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with crumbs but not wet batter. (try not to overbake)

Blueberry Brownies
I dont say that lightly, because I am no daring baker. I am a timid, “Can I really do that???” kinda baker. I like having a recipe to follow. I like that someone else did it before me and already knows its yummy.
Someday, I will actually feel comfortable telling people the name of my blog when asked.
Someday.
As far as the end result, I would give them a thumbs up! I like the texture and the thickness and the way the blueberries were peppered throughout and not all globby at the bottom. I might consider a frosting for next time… like a good darkchocolateganache… but I am taking baby steps here folks.
Here is the recipe.
Oneof these days I will figure out how to have a button so you can “print” and it will be all nice and organized and easy.
Someday.
I put the brownies right into the freezer. People always ask me why I do this and I sorta think it helps to seal in moisture and helps the baked item to keep its shape.
I wanted to cut out nice, uniform squares of the brownies, and having them chilled helped crate nice clean lines.
And if you are bored at all tomorrow, feel free to check me out on Showcase Minnesotaon NBC.The show starts at 10:00am. I will be bringing these brownies with me! 🙂
If you cant watch just check back later and I will post a link to the segment.
Wish me luck! (I am gonna need it!)
Wow, I never would have thought to put blueberries in a chocolate brownie! Interesting. Good luck tomorrow! You’ll do super I’m sure. I can’t wait to see the link.
What an interesting combination! I will have to try this.
My husband would love these brownies!
yummm. i love anything with brownies! i’ll have to try this recipe out sometime. thanks!
I’ve never heard of blueberries in brownies before but I bet it is a delicious combination. They certainly look yummy and I love your Showcase Minnesota cookies too. Both will be a big hit on the show as will you and I bet after it airs, tons of people will be throwing blueberries into brownies and thanking you for it:)
Brownies, Blueberries, Baklava, Brown Sugar, Big plates of cookies….(oops got side tracked on my yummy things beginning with the letter B!)
Yay for brownies! And yay for brownies that will help us get through the multiple pints of blueberries sitting in the fridge. These look delicious!
How exciting…..I will for sure watch. Good luck!!!!
Great recipe and best of luck tomorrow, I know you will do amazing!
Yay for brownies with fresh fruit! Also, I recently learned that you can make your own brown sugar by using 1 Tbsp molasses per cup of granulated sugar (using more molasses if you need a dark brown sugar). You mix with a fork (for a bit – past the clumpy stage), and voila!
Enjoy your time on air tomorrow!
