Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, melted
- 3/4 cup plant-based chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Your Baking Pan and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking pan with plant-based butter. Line the pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal and prevent sticking.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a heat-safe bowl, gently melt the plant-based butter and chocolate chips until smooth, stirring frequently to create a creamy base.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and natural gelling agent until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract (natural) to the melted chocolate and butter mixture. Stir well to form a smooth batter.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients Into Wet: Gradually pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, folding carefully until just combined to keep the batter light and airy.
- Fold in Fresh Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, keeping them whole to preserve their juicy texture and sweetness.
- Bake Your Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into squares to maintain their shape and minimize blueberry bleeding.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm blueberries to reduce excess moisture in the batter.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients just until mixed to keep the brownies tender.
- Spread the batter evenly in the pan for uniform baking.
- Allow brownies to cool fully for the best texture before slicing.
- Adjust the amount of coconut sugar depending on the sweetness of the blueberries.
