Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (natural)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Main Flavor Additions
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Your Baking Pan: Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with plant-based butter, then dust it with a bit of flour to prevent sticking, ensuring clean release and crisp edges.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt for even distribution and a smooth batter.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the plant-based butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, forming a creamy base that adds moisture and sweetness.
- Add Eggs and Flavorings: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and apple cider vinegar, adding moisture, flavor depth, and balanced acidity.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated to preserve a tender texture.
- Fold in Fresh Blueberries: Gently fold in fresh blueberries carefully to keep them intact, ensuring juicy bursts in every bite.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 175°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better flavor blending.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies tender and avoid dense results.
- Choose ripe but firm blueberries to prevent excessive color bleeding.
- Allow brownies to cool completely for easier slicing and enhanced texture.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for effortless removal and clean edges.
