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!)
one of my favorite candybars is Endangered Species dark chocolate with blueberries – so I bet this combo is delish!
Those look delicious. I love brownies, and I love blueberries. What a great combo!
Nice idea of cooking the blueberries in the butter. Some of those flavour compounds are likely fat-soluble…so good on ya!

Yum – chocolate & blueberries! Between your creativity & blogging about it, I’m all set!
I’m most likely not telling you anything you don’t already know, but I bookmarked this from Joy’s blog last week, and I thought I’d share it just in case, since you mentioned not having any brown sugar….

I have never seen berries baked into brownies but what a genius idea. And kudos to you for developing your own recipe.
