Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder (natural)
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Plant-Based Butter, softened
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup Plant-Based Milk
- 1 tsp Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (natural)
Additional Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Natural Gelling Agent
- 1 cup Fresh Blueberries, washed and patted dry
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients and Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking pan with plant-based butter. Gather all ingredients, ensuring the blueberries are washed and dried to prevent excess moisture.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the rising agent and cocoa for consistent brownie flavor.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, cream the plant-based butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural), mixing well to incorporate all flavors smoothly.
- Integrate Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, taking care not to overmix. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, leaving some whole to burst during baking for flavor and appearance.
- Add the Natural Gelling Agent and Bake: Sprinkle the natural gelling agent over the batter and give one final gentle mix. Pour into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan to set. Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy the fresh blueberry and chocolate combination.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm blueberries to prevent watery batter and maintain bursts of berry flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies fudgy rather than tough.
- Spread batter evenly in the pan for uniform baking and perfect edges.
- Check for doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time to avoid overbaking.
- Use room temperature plant-based butter and milk for smoother batter and consistent texture.
